> No, it's not legally binding. Agreements are only binding if both parties agree, and someone sending you email has
notconsented to your statement. If I send you something with a copyright mark, you'd better respect it unless you have
asigned agreement granting you rights. Federal law always wins.

> Disclaimers are bad for two reasons. First, they're powerless. Just because Acme Corp. attaches a disclaimer
doesn'tmean they've absolved themselves of responsibility for the actions of their employees. Second, they're
insultingto the employees. It's a big red flag saying, "We, Acme Corp., hire clowns we don't trust, and THIS person
maybe one of them!"
Dear sirs, this is off-topic at best. Pls. discontinue this thread.
