Apologies for the shockingly off-topic message...
I don't know about you, but I don't like boilerplate disclaimers ("this
e-mail is for the person it's for. Please don't read it if you didn't
receive it. Immediately destroy it and all copies if you have received
it when you shouldn't have. If you have read it, forget what it said...
etc etc etc").
Anyway, instead of moaning, which is what I normally do, I thought I'd
distribute a good one I received this morning. It contains advertising
(sorry), but I have no connection with the company, honest (except being
a customer). The bit I particularly like is the virus disclaimer and
confidentiality condition.
Here's the boilerplate in full:
