You are right, of course. I had not factored in that possibility. FWIW,
many localities that require 'disclaimers' do not require them for
routine correspondence or mail to publicly accessible lists, such as
this one. Germany, if I remember correctly, is one such country.

Why not both, as well as publicly stating that the use of
'disclaimers' is not acceptable unless mandated by law? That should
eliminate a considerable amount of garbage.

I hate trolls.  Maybe I could metamorph it into something else -- like a
ravenous, two-headed, fire-breathing dragon.
