So, I’m sick of reading emails that contain legal disclaimers at the bottom of them. More accurately, I’m sick of the legal paranoia we all live in that makes companies/individuals feel that having these disclaimers is important.
In retaliation (futile, but I feel better) I’ve crafted one of my own devising. My favorite part is that it’s so huge. Most of the emails I get are simple one or 2 line things (“hey, check this link out”, “blah”, or “i hate everyone, people suck”, etc)
This disclaimer will simply drown out the text of the actual message, and significantly increase the size of the message (significantly, if you’re a mail router receiving hundreds of these a second [or more])
Anyway, here it is. Enjoy.
