The contents of this Email and any files transmitted with it are not confidential and intended for the use of the individual or entity to whom this Email is addressed. The views stated herein do not necessarily represent the view of myself been in sound mind and body it the time I composed this Email. I knew what I was doing when I selected your Email address, so you are the intended recipient of this Email, GET WITH IT!!! don't procrastinate with endless excuses. You may copy, forward, disclose, print, delete it or otherwise use it or any part of it, in any form you can think of. After you have received this mail please feel free to Email the sender (me) with a personnel Email anytime, but NOT black text on white background HTML format. if you been the sender intend to send me a Email in HTML format, please add some living color to compensate the slightly wasted internet bandwidth, longer download time and wasted space of my hard drive as if I decide to save that Email (only for archive purposes), due to the fact that HTML Emails are two and half times bigger than the same Email content posted in plain text format. If you been the sender decide to send me been the receiver a attachment file larger than 200Kb in file size please give me prior courtesy to ask if I would like to receive it, as I been the receiver have a slow dial up connection speed and often other members of the household want to use the phone only when I go on Internet.

While some have an aversion to the diclaimer signatures (or Cover Your Ar*e, CYA clauses) all I can say is, that I could buy another car every year for what professional indemnity insurance presently costs me, and each and every claim adds another $10,000 in excess charges to that. Even minimal benefits of using a CYA clause in a signature will be useful to me, so I do and will continue to use them.	godfather (25)

X-( I see this silliness in some forums,too, where it is worse: the html doesn't get rendered -- it's just shown as html source. This is always a good indication of the person's level of competence. ;-) In the newsgroups the rule was that "sigs" (signature blocks automatically added to emails) should not be more than 4 lines. This was because newsgroups were saved on many disks over the world, and big sigs are a huge waste of space. Also when most connections were 9600 bps, the time and money involved meant that a big sig was not welcome.	Graham L (2)
