Oh, well if public scolding is now all the rage on a mailing list every time
someone does something that someone else doesn't like, I would highly
suggest that everyone with these inane, useless, legally dubious, and
completely impractical disclaimers at the end of their email message get
their flame-retardant suits on, because y'all have been wasting EVERYONE's
bandwidth with them.

In fact, I think that bouncing your messages back to you unread would be an
appropriate response, because you put the disclaimer at the end of the
message, so if it isn't addressed to me, then I have already violated it by
the time I get to it. Yes. That would work. A few hundred people bouncing
these inane things back to the source.

Then I can go after people who are, evidently, genetically incapable of
TRIMMING A FRIGGIN' REPLY.

Wow. You appear to get screwed on both issues.

Or, maybe we could realize that scoldings, for "valid" reason or not, are
not in fact the voice of the righteous, rising up from the downtrodden to
smite the unholy minions of <stuffwedon'tlike>, and are a waste of time and
data?

Really. It's up to you. Ask anyone, I'm game for either.
