[SNIP]
I got complete agreement from every JD about the disclaimers at the
bottom - they cannot tell you after you have received the e-mail that
you cannot keep the e-mail. Someone sends you something, it is yours.
Period. (Of course, every single one then back-peddled and talked
about how nothing is certain if it goes to court and typical CYA Lawyer
BS.)
So at least the part about "if you are not the intended recipient, I
get your first born 'cause you already read the e-mail before seeing
this disclosure" is complete and utter BS.
