* Bart Silverstrim [2005-02-03 08:01 -0500] I wonder why if the messages are so important they don't PGP or GPG them. Wouldn't that make more sense for sensitive material? To send email from the Ullevål university hospital in Oslo, the first to words of the email needs to be ikke sensitiv (Norwegian for not confidential) in order for the email server to allow the email to be sent to the outside world. These restrictions do not apply for internal mail. If you don't include these two words, the email server will bounce it back to you, telling you to not send confidential information outside the hospital, or to include the magic words, in case that the message in fact is not confidential.___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You cannot be forced into a legally binding contract simply by reading a statement, no. That doesn't mean the author won't try to sue people anyway, but even a spammer is unlikely to have anything to worry about unless the author is remarkably dedicated to wasting time and money following through. -- -Chuck (IANAL, TINLA :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hey Chuck, You cannot be forced into a legally binding contract simply by reading a statement, no. Thank $DEITY that's still true. That doesn't mean the author won't try to sue people anyway, but even a spammer is unlikely to have anything to worry about unless the author is remarkably dedicated to wasting time and money following through. I read that 'agreement' about 20 times before posting. I am definately not worried about getting sued by him (whose name I am 'legally' refrained from mentioning here; because, by reading his message, I obviously agreed not to mention 'he who cannot be mentioned'; I thought Jahweh had a patent on that...), but I found it to be utterly incomprehensible. My first reaction was WTF? This is the stupidest disclaimer I have *ever* seen.. Then I wondered whether Austrian people have a special kind of humor. Then, I decided to ask. Again, sorry for the noise; this time I couldn't resist. Thanks and bye...
