I know this is not my list, but if your going to complain about disclaimers
then do it off list.
This is a public mailing list and disclaimers are just abusing it. I
shared my view with rest. This is not a complain
I'm sure everyone doesnt want to read all this dribble
Don't be so sure for everyone. My goal is to stop the abuse, not to
dribble as you put it

Hello -
Do you really think anyone looks at your disclaimer?. You are just
unnecessarily filling up the mailing list with 'garbage'. I would
understand if it were an email to one/all of your employees. But
outside
that jurisdiction it is pretty much useless. I am sure lot of people
here will agree with me. Please avoid using disclaimers in mailing
list.

Avoid disclaimers: http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers
I am going to go a bit off topic here at the moment, but....

In many cases disclaimers - especially ones such as these - are added
by companies email systems as the message is headed out the door.  The
I can bet you that your company has policies regarding subscribing to
mailing list and if you look your company has no jurisdiction on
'public' mailing list. Try using gmail/yahoo/msn if you have no control
on your disclaimer

person sending the message often is not given a choice if it is added
or not.  While I agree that many of the disclaimers that I have seen
are less than perfect,  if you don't like the disclaimers, don't look
at them...

Any comments on this please send them directly to me.
