It's not about that, it's about letting people know when something is not appropriate. D) Disclaimers on emails are less effective than EULAs. They hold NO legal weight. Confidentiallty disclaimers on emails are antiquated and ineffective. E) That special olympics thing was old in 1998, and as overused and useless now as... email confidentiality disclaimers. F) I answered his question, didn't I? <troll.off> --- Clay Gravil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Actually... > > I can think of many more polite ways to say something about it... > But this is not the issue. > > If you READ his signature you'd understand that it's a disclaimer... > and for > his company it NEEDS to be there.
