Good point. I will consider requiring a simple password/login for the
data on the same page as a thorough disclaimer and an "I understand"
button, just to be on the smart and safe side. From the way you have
described the risks, it seems that they could affect not just my survey
results, but to anyone posting tesla specs and discussions to a forum
such as this list, or to the people running the list, or the neon
transformer company, or the sign shop...
I personally hate the current trend of people suing other
people/companies for their own stupid mistakes. That lady with the
McDonalds coffee comes to mind... it shouldn't pay to be a pathetic
whining idiot.
And, of course, anybody hoping to sue me for a million bucks would be
sadly dissapointed when I turn out my surplus army pants pockets (all six
of them) :-)
