>What do you mean "allow him"? Lawyers do not make decisions (or at least, should not).

He means the obvious "strongly advise him not to do it", in effect stopping him saying anything.

You over-thought that response too much!

If strongly advising people not to do something stopped them from doing it, lawyers wouldn't have jobs :)

Even if that was an over thought response, and I'm not saying it was, I'm glad he did it. It was my favorite comment on this page. DannyBee! Thanks for the very well informed, clear, and interesting perspective.
