paul, do you realise your sig is about twice as long as your actual
message?

if its possible, try and cut it down a bit when posting to a public
list (that really doesn't care what your ACN is)

fair enough. i suppose we are all "authorised recipients".

heh. it said above we should return this by e-mail. now we aren't
allowed to re-transmit it.

(and how do we read the disclaimer without reading the e-mail?)

but i thought we weren't supposed to be acting on this email?

bugger. what about the searchable web archives that this post is going
to?  you should probably set some "no archive" headers, if you really
intend this to be the case, cos the admins aren't going to be very
happy about having to manually remove it.

(what does "commercialise the material" mean?)

> This Notice should not be removed.

great. so i'm supposed to include all this self-contradictory crap in
all replies, forwards, etc. guess i'm never going to reply to a post
containing it then (after this one).


you didn't actually pay this lawyer, did you?
