These scary and legally worthless disclaimers are annoying, especially
so when sent to mailing lists and absolutely ludicrous when attached to
spam. I think this crap started in the fax world and idiots carried it
over to email. I generally reply to such nonsense with one of the
following:
Disclaimer 1:
NOTICE: This communication may contain confidential and/or privileged
information. If you are not the intended recipient or believe that you
have received this communication in error you are obligated to kill
yourself and anyone else who may have read it, not necessarily in that
order. So there. My disclaimer is scarier than yours. Nyaah. You
started this silly nonsense. Knock it off and I will too, ok? It's
worthless from a legal standpoint and is responsible for the needless
suffering of billions of innocent electrons. Nobody reads it anyway.
You're not actually reading this, are you? I didn't think so.
Disclaimer 2:
NOTICE: By sending email to any of my addresses you are agreeing that:
1. I am by definition, "the intended recipient".
2. All information in the email is mine to do with as I see fit and
make such financial profit, political mileage, or good joke as it lends
itself to. In particular, I may quote it on newsgroups, forums, and
mailing lists.
3. I may take the contents as representing the views of your company.
4. This overrides any disclaimer or statement of confidentiality
that may be included on your message.
