To further train myself in this skill, I'll write some of the posts in english from now on. If you spot an error - and I mean any error, not only grammatical errors, even bad phrasing will do, - please be sure to correct me.
Now to the topic...
Responsibility comes uninvited. It's not a thing that can be measured and limited to any desirable extent. You cannot throw it off by saying "I don't want to be responsible for this so don't rely on me" - and that's where life differs from the world of software licenses (in which similar claims are pretty usual things).
In real life if somebody relies on you, it's already too late to state your "limitation of liabilities". If you're being relied on, that means you've already done enough to provoke this; so by saying "hey, don't rely on me" you're basically saying "looks like I'm too scared to face the consequences of my previous actions, but I want to look like a responsible guy nevertheless". And that's exactly what's the irresponsibility is. Even if you did everything you could to make people not to rely on you - with no success though, - you still can't say that "it's not my problem anymore if I let somebody down, because they were warned". That is the real irresponsibility.
If you really don't want anybody to depend on you, don't do anything that might make them think they could. And if you did then go all the way and support them till the end because it's already your problem from the time you've first messed with it.
Your actions and not your words define your responsibility.
