Hi

100% right, it is our famous lawyers that came up with it and it gets
added to our e-mail.

 

>Actually, Mr. Swanepoel didn't write that passage; either his e-mail
client or some upstream mail server inserted that warning. But a link to
a _2-page_ disclaimer???!!! What has the world sunk to. :-(

I guess we have the lawyers to thank for this new development.

Can anyone in the US now watch TV without seeing at least 4 lawyers'

Which is worse watch an ad for a lawyer or watching an ad for Computer 
Associates (or Compuware?)


Its obvious to me.


IMHO the best idea is to get rid of all the ads i.e. by *not watching 
TV*. BTDT.
It is also good idea to keep in topic. As CA or Cmpuware reputation 
could be considered as on-topic, the ads and opinion about lawyers are not.

Not to mention the barrage of "enhancement pill" adverts.

Wasn't "Smiling Bob" a dancing paperclip in a previous lifetime?  :-)
