I can believe that such NDAs may exist, but I'm pretty sure I didn't
sign one as a condition of subscribing to nanog.  In reality,
boilerplate confidentiality notices merely document the fact that a
mail system is in the grip of the clueless and/or confused.

I would be most interested in any case or statute law supporting this
utterly implausible assertion.  I'm aware that there is a rule among
attorneys that they're not allowed to use material faxed from one to
another by mistake, but since this isn't fax and we're not lawyers, it
doesn't apply.
