> Greg, > > Thankyou for your email, I am so sorry the disclaimer has upset you > so much I haven't read past this point yet, but I just wanted to say that it didn't "upset me so much." I see these disclaimers a lot and usually don't comment on them. I just thought it was a tad out of place on a LUG mailing list message, is all. And, I meant the ":)" at the end to indicate that I wasn't "upset" but more just pointing out something I find out of place. That is all. /me now continues to read the rest of your email... > I was looking to draft in some professional help with a > Ubuntu Global Jam, you know developers programmers that sought > thing.

I personally think that having a disclaimer on those messages is worthless and doesn't do anything. As soon as your mailing list is archived online (which is a Good Thing, so people can give URLs for certain messages, read archives, etc), the "if you are not the intended receipient of this email-message, please delete this message from your system and do not read, copy, distribute, disclose or otherwise use this e-mail message and any attachments" part is not enforceable anymore. So, my suggestion: just remove it, you aren't gaining anything from it. > I have > looked for your email address on our mailing list and don't seem to > locate it.

I am not a member of that LUG and do not live there (I live in the US). :) I read your message on the ubuntu LoCo contacts mailing list. > > You are the first to complain about this I have not sought to > structure a mailing list solely on it's legal importance.

And if someone else did by accident read your message on a publicly logged mailing list......? Again, no argument here, I'm just pointing out the fact that using that disclaimer (or pretty much any disclaimer) on a LUG mailing list just seems very out of place. Wish you the best!
