I miss the point...

This is a bit off-topic for the list ... but I thought I might ask...

Sending e-mails with silly disclaimers with legal notices that you are in
position to enforce, or have no legal standing value whatsoever in a court,
is silly. So is sending emails with legal notices of so called
"confidentiality" or priveldged information in e-mails, to a public-list.
And those types do deserve to be scoffed at, as they do little than inflate
the bandwidth-wastage a little more.

But what is wrong with an organisation trying to protect itself from any PR
or possible legal/defamation damage caused by an employee ? How is short
single line disowning any statement made by employee on a public forum or on
a personal basis offensive ?

Even, if such a disowning tag may have little legal value (though I think it
would, as a show of intent at least), it maybe viewed as a simple PR
damage-control tool. (assuming that it is a high-profile, bigwig
corporation.)

And assuming someone mails at some forum from some corporate address (say
adobe.com), can't the employee(and if he is at the workplace especially) be
considered to be representing the company ? Just asking...

I am not supporting it or criticising it... just trying to understand. And
specifically the opinions of Raju and Mario on this, rather than the list
members in general.

Regards,
Abhi
