Fuses

From a legal perspective, the concept of duty of care is pernicious and often difficult to get grips with, so it is often easier to just enforce a blanket ban on potential issues. Having said that I very much doubt a duty of care is created upon the owners/moderators to readers consequent of some dangerous crap which a member wrote and a punter followed to their detriment.

The point is in this case it is not dangerous crap.

I know you do hear of some ridiculous outcomes in the law courts, but surely the Magistrates/Judges have more sense than this.

Sovereign, such matters fall under the jurisdiction of the county court civil judges. And whilst we have the finest High Court judges in the world, county court judges are 60% well meaning but have no expertise in 70% of the cases that come before them. 30% idiots who would'nt know a civil procedure rule if you hit them on the head with the 3000 page book of rules, and 10% psychopaths.

justice is a process not an outcome.

Thanks Daniel, great to have a expert to shed some light.
Getting back to the ridiculous policy of the Wam, the child in me wants to do a 'naked streak' and start a thread stating that it is safe to take fuses out of plugs and see what happens

Tempting but I won't, The wam is a good place to buy and sell. It was my introduction to NVA after all

I forgot to mention I have the 15amp sockets running off a Radial circuit which I think makes a big difference but don't try this yourselves as you need a qualified electrician to install it for you (as our health and safety mummy state like's to take care of us)
