Bah.... Bruce come on. The people that are sending the emails with those 
disclaimers "DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE". They are being forced to do so by 
upper management and legal.

Should we penalize the poor guy in IT that just wants to use our great 
product because his boss and attorney's are idiots? If we did that, most 
people on this list would be penalized. Regardless of the legal disclaimer.
