People should learn that print is not a statement any more, it's a function. And then use it. Use it often, use it early. Know what your program is doing.

What you can do about legalese nonsense on email (was: How to split value where is comma ?)
Joaquin Alzola writes: > world? > > Cannot do anything. That's not true; you can do more than we. > Added by the MTA of the company not by my client. Right. So, here are things you can do (that we cannot) about this: * Complain, with reasoned explanation, to the management responsible for deciding whether that nonsense continues to be added to every message. If they haven't heard the complaint before, they will no longer have that excuse. If they have heard the complaint before, yours will add to the weight of evidence that this is not wanted. * Switch to a different mail service, one which does not add that nonsense to your email. Yes, this is inconvenient for you. But it's impossible for us to do on your behalf, so you are in a position of more power than us. * Complain again to the management responsible for the ongoing decision to place nonsense on your email, that you have been forced to use a different mail system in order not to appear contemptuous of the communities in which you participate. If you are participating for reasons of benefit to the organisation, point out that their ongoing decision is making that more difficult for their employees. These are all powers you have; please don't feel that you can do nothing. -- \ “Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without | `\ having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it | _o__) too?” —Douglas Adams | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I am zero out of eighty thousand. Short of suing the company or something of that nature, I have no chance of affecting it. You _do_ have a chance, exactly as per Ben's advice. There is one option among Ben's suggestions that doesn't amount to "complain": > * Switch to a different mail service, one which does not add that > nonsense to your email. This amounts to "subvert". Now, if it's dead simple for you to remove the disclaimer, the ball lands in the court of those wanting it on all outgoing emails: they can either complain at you for omitting it, or decide that it's not worth it. Again, this is a marked improvement; and if you're bothered by the difficulty of changing a large and bureaucratic organization, it's probably the easiest solution.

That way, the automatically-added "confidentiality clause" will end up appended to the signature. Since many news readers discard or suppress display of the signature, the "confidentiality clause" won't be as much of an issue. > This email is > confidential and may be subject to privilege.

If every lawyer in the world benefits from the interpretation that this sort of notice is legally effective (since tomorrow it may be they who accidentaly send privileged information), who will argue in court that it's not? The reality is more complex, and it appears that it may only apply if the accidental recipient is a lawyer.

(You could block it, I guess, but it'd have to be some sort of IP address blacklist - you can't just say "no access to port 25 or 110".) And yes, if you tether to your phone, you should get past the problems. That might be a _little_ inconvenient though. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I read Lebara's "Vision" and "Mission" and I remember that whenever Lebara says anything, they end it with that rude disclaimer. I don't want to get in touch with Lebara. That's how stupid it is. > But, I'm sure there's a lawyer somewhere who's trying to cover his > ass regardless of how foolish it looks... As if Lebara's real mission is to cover their lawyers' asses. >> This email is confidential and may be subject to privilege.

Then people would not dare to delete the spam without first confirming to the spammer that they read their spam. Or not. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hell no! http://img0.joyreactor.com/pics/post/comics-google-facebook-245504.jpeg But in this specific case, Google is not entirely in the wrong re Palestine. It *is* a disputed area, and Google cannot satisfy everyone no matter what they do. If you search for "Palestine" in Google Maps, you get a map which (at least in Australia) clearly shows the West Bank and Gaza Strip as disputed territories: https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Palestine/ More here: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/aug/10/google-maps-accused-remove-palestine http://opennews.kzhu.io/map-disputes/?_ga=1.48243875.420098949.1397702661 > Ok you didn't suggest to use gmail (ie google) specifically > > So what do you suggest to people (like myself) who’s primary email is > gmail and are incensed with such actions?? Whatever you do, don't use Yahoo Mail or AOL unless there is *absolutely* no other alternative. They are actively hostile to mailing lists and even worse for good email practice than Gmail. I don't know about others, but most ISPs in Australia offer at least one email address per customer. So although there aren't many *great* alternatives to Gmail, there are some good and so-so alternatives: * run your own mail server (easy enough that I can do it) * your work or school email * your ISP email * Outlook.Com (Hotmail) -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I really I often wonder if these automatic disclaimers actually remove any protection that they might have if they were used judiciously. If they had any validity wouldn't the fact that they are attached to every email, even ones obviously meant for the public, give someone an argument that they don't really apply? -- D'Arcy J.M.

Unfortunately, in the corporate world, it *doesn't* make them look stupid and incompetent. It makes them look conventional, careful, diligent and responsible, and depending on how it is worded, perhaps even a little scary: "We say that we care about the confidentiality of what we do. Don't mess with us, because we have a lawyer and aren't afraid to use it!" To a certain type of mindset, failure to include that boilerplate would look stupid and incompetent. Even if it is a legal bluff, it may discourage some people from misusing the email or forwarding it on, a bit like the legal equivalent of fake security cameras that look like the real thing but don't actually work. And I doubt it is being driven by lawyers, who surely know how dubious this is. Its not lawyers who insist on adding restraint of trade and non-compete clauses that they know won't stand up in court, and I doubt it is lawyers insisting on this boiler plate. But then lawyers will also know that there's no (legal) harm done by including the message: within fairly broad limits, they can *say* anything they like. "If you are not the intended recipient, stop reading immediately and seek medical attention. If you read this email without approval, you will suffer a severe and irreversible brain embolism." And besides, I wouldn't be *entirely* sure that it is nothing but a bluff, particularly when wealthy corporations are involved. Privacy and confidentiality are intangibles where the result can depend on all sorts of factors, such as how deep the pockets of the plaintiff are, and whether the government of the day wants to defend or attack freedom of speech and/or privacy. Or even outright legal fraud, which is how we got corporations considered to be legal persons. -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
