Yes and those "people", need to get a life. I find it ever interesting
that we continue to warn poor folks that have zero control from their
corporate overlords about the stupid legal communications policies they
have in place.

Every single one of the people that gets reminded of this is going to
respond, "Yes, I know... but it is out of my hands." So why do we
continue to beat the cat? It's dead.

What needs to happen (and I believe has on -patches) is that the
subscription notice to all members needs to read that all
confidentiality and legal notices will be ignored as this is an open forum.

Secondly, people need to leave the poor guys alone that have no choice
but to send email with that footer. These "notices" are going to
continue and they are going to get ever more popular, especially as our
Win32/MS market share increases.

Lastly, perhaps a FAQ entry would be helpful.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
