I know this is not my list, but if your going to complain about disclaimers
then do it off list.

I'm sure everyone doesnt want to read all this dribble

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.

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.
