I guess we all have them. The email sig that really bugs me these days 
is the one exhorting me not to print the message out unless I really 
need to. So officious and rude, I think.

IMPORTANT - ANTI-DISCLAIMER - This email is not and cannot, by its 
nature, be confidential.  En route from me to you, it will pass across 
the public Internet, easily readable by any number of system 
administrators along the way.  If you have received this message by 
mistake, it would be ridiculous for me to tell you not to read it or 
copy to anyone else, because, let's face it, if it's a message revealing 
confidential information or that could embarrass me intensely, that's 
precisely what you'll do.  Who wouldn't?  Likewise, it is superfluous 
for me to claim copyright in the contents, because I own that anyway, 
even if you print out a hard copy or disseminate this message all over 
the known universe.  I don't know why so many corporate mail servers 
feel impelled to attach a disclaimer to the bottom of every email 
message saying otherwise.  If you don't know either, why not email your 
corporate lawyers and system administrators and ask them why they insist 
on contributing so much to the waste of bandwidth?
