Found at http://www.boingboing.net/ . Given recent threads, I reckon
this is worth forwarding ;)

[1] Unless it's something funny that I found on a blog and I'm just
forwarding it

[2] I.e. Just about anyone

[3] Or not

[4] IANAL. But I *am* an ordained Minister of the Universal Life Church.
So while you don't get no attorney privilege with me, you may be able to
claim some kind of confessor confidentiality. Step into the box and tell
me your sins!

[5] I.e., Just about anyone

[6] Except to your SMTP host

[7] Except to your hard-drive as part of your mail-spool

[8] Except from your SMTP host to your mail-spool

[9] I.e., Helping Nigerian generals launder their fortunes, sending
postcards to possibly fictitious dying British children, or forwarding
bogus but terribly urgent virus warnings

[10] Hey, everything's illegal somewhere!

[11] In other words, if *I* made a mistake, I plan on somehow coercing
*you* into doing something about it

[12] Send all such notice to our special "oops" account:

[13] Also, please write random bits to every sector on your drive seven
times, dissolve your RAM with sulfuric acid, gouge your eyes out and get a
prefrontal lobotomy

[14] Our server has been having problems with overlong .sigs lately

[15] There is no fifteenth footnote
