And I, in turn, should have... but didn't... resisted 
saying:

Hey, T,

C'mon down. Apparently the air up where you live 
is so very, very thin that you can't recognize 
that the offending text is:

a) appended automatically by our corporate servers AFTER 
I hit "Send" and is therefore TOTALLY, COMPETELY, ENTIRELY, 
THOROUGHLY out of my control, and 

b) ugly and ungrammatical enough to have been written by 
oxygen-starved lawyers (oh... izzat it? are you training 
to be a high-altitude lawyer?) and not by somebody competent 
with English.  That is, it's not written by a techwriter.

Also, this latest explanation of mine (above) is 
redundant, since it is merely a more foreceful restatement 
of what I said the LAST couple of times some poor 
oxygen-starved list-member attempted to shame me for 
something that O B V I O U S L Y is perpetrated by the 
corporate outbound mail server - and not by me. 

By the way, most people who inhabit the mundane 
(yet oxygenated) world, down here, have seen this 
sort of thing in their mailboxes often enough by 
now to recognize it for the legalistic travesty that 
it is. Perhaps you and your inbox should get out more. 

Cheers, and have really great weekend,

 - Kevin
