Shhhhhhh! Don't read this post!

I’m not sure if there are more of these sorts of things than there used to be, but jeez, don’t you just hate seeing something like this at the bottom of an email?

Gotta love a world where legal boilerplate like that is attached to innumerable emails that pretty much consist of “Thanks!” or “Will do!” or “Sorry, 2:00 is no good, how about 3:30?”

Blecch.
