Here's my favorite disclaimer. I knew I had squirreled it away
somewhere, just took a while to find it:

[1] Unless it's something funny that I found on a blog and I'm
just forwarding it

[2] I.e. Just about anyone

[3] Or not

[4] IANAL. But I *am* an ordained Minister of the Universal Life
Church. So while you don't get no attorney privilege with me, you
may be able to claim some kind of confessor confidentiality. Step
into the box and tell me your sins!

[5] I.e., Just about anyone

[6] Except to your SMTP host

[7] Except to your hard-drive as part of your mail-spool

[8] Except from your SMTP host to your mail-spool

[9] I.e., Helping Nigerian generals launder their fortunes,
sending postcards to possibly fictitious dying British children,
or forwarding bogus but terribly urgent virus warnings

[10] Hey, everything's illegal somewhere!

[11] In other words, if *I* made a mistake, I plan on somehow
coercing *you* into doing something about it

[12] Send all such notice to our special "oops" account:
diaper-fetish-subscribe AT yahoogroups.com

[13] Also, please write random bits to every sector on your drive
seven times, dissolve your RAM with sulfuric acid, cut your eyes
out and get a prefrontal lobotomy

[14] Our server has been having problems with overlong .sigs
lately

[15] There is no fifteenth footnote
