Sometimes spammers are the biggest idiots in the universe. So, I got an email with a bunch of junk in it from someone who subscribed me to a list that I didn’t ask to be part of. And this was at the end of the message:

E-mail transmission cannot be guaranteed to be secure or error-free as information could be intercepted, corrupted, lost, destroyed, incomplete and/or contain viruses. The sender therefore does not accept any liability whatsoever for errors or omissions in the contents of this message or anything else arising from this e-mail transmission.
Can you believe the audacity of some people?
- No one who has “confidential” information should ever be transmitting it via email.
- When you blast an email to a massive list of unknown people it is no longer “confidential”.
- What’s this bullshit about the sender not accepting any liability – when they want the receiver to accept it!
- If there was anything really juicy attached, I would have definitely shared it!
By the way, it was also mailed from a company in Europe – to me, in the USA. So what the hell would they even do about it if I did share something juicy? We don’t even have the same laws!
