[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.
