I love reading this crap at the end of institutional email. Which translated roughly means: "We sent this message via the cheapest possible means available to us because we put profits above all else, especially the privacy of your correspondence with us. However, if this postcard does end up in the hands of anyone other than the addressee then please do not read it. In fact we prohibit whatever unknown person or persons that may come to possess a copy of this message, of which there are an unknown number, from reading any of it. Including this warning. The penalty for non-compliance to be determined later, maybe, whenever. P.S. Report yourself to the authorities and destroy the evidence." It seems to me that we are are graduating far too many lawyer wannabes and not nearly enough people who can think. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
