st: Silly addenda

[Marcello Pagano <pagano@hsph.harvard.edu>]

Dear Listers,

In the spirit of saving bandwidth, if you are posting something on a 
list that will be seen by many, it seems silly to me to have an addendum 
that says something like,

Privileged, confidential or patient identifiable information may be
contained in this message. This information is meant only for the use of
the intended recipients. If you are not the intended recipient, or if
the message has been addressed to you in error, do not read, disclose,
reproduce, distribute, disseminate or otherwise use this transmission.
Instead, please notify the sender by reply e-mail, and then destroy all
copies of the message and any attachments.

All too often too these are not in Plain Text and that causes havoc for 
some.  So please refrain from automatically adding this drivel to your 
messages.  BTW, do you really think any one pays attention to such a 
message, anyway?

Thanks,

m.p.
