Hey there! I’m test driving a new e-mail disclaimer. I’m planning to extend it to about 45K bytes with the eventual goal of altering the tilt and rotation of the Earth due to excessive weight caused by bloated e-mail messages stored on servers around the globe. Check it out and let me know if it strikes fear into the very core of your soul or if it still needs a little work…

IMPORTANT: This e-mail is intended for the use of the individual addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is confidential, privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low self-esteem, no sense of humor or irrational religious beliefs. If you are not the intended recipient, any dissemination, distribution or copying of this e-mail is not authorized (either explicitly or implicitly) and constitutes an irritating social faux pas.

Unless the word absquatulation has been used in its correct context somewhere other than in this warning, it does not have any legal or no grammatical use and may be ignored. No animals were harmed in the transmission of this e-mail and it was constructed using 100% recycled electrons. Those of you with an overwhelming fear of the unknown will be gratified to learn that there is no hidden message revealed by reading this warning backwards. However, by pouring a complete circle of salt around yourself and your computer you can ensure that no harm befalls you and your pets. If you have received this e-mail in error, then please refrain from receiving this e-mail again in the future. I mean, REALLY!

And of coure, Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. (Whatever is said in Latin seems profound)

[Ed. Not sure where this originated from. It arrived as the latest of a zillion forwards across email.]
