[sent to djgpp mailing list and several individuals]
In response to Nate's question about the legal statement appended to my
recent posts, it is added automatiaclly at our corporate firewall. This
practice was just started several weeks ago, with no notification to the
users that it was happening.
As may be suspected, this not is legalese required by corporate counsel.
I think the implication is similar to legal notice often put of faxes -
namely that if it gets sent to the wrong number, the recipient is supposed
to pretend he didn't get it. I have no idea how this would stand up
legally, and I don't know many people (any?) who would pay for the phone
call (or take the time) to return a fax they got in error (misdialed phone
number, for example.)
In any case, when I send to a mailing list - that list is my intended
addressee, so I don't think there is any problem, just confusion. :-) I
suppose I should start using a .sig which states that more explicitly. I'm
also not sure what happens when I post to usenet (which is how I more
commonly read this list)
Thanks for the concern.
