Your apology is accepted.
The reason why we need that on is because my company works in the Financial business and sometimes confidential information about our clients financial status and holdings is sent via email - hence the need for that (unfortunately) long disclaimer.

if this is the case, then of course i'm out of line and feeling a mite
sheepish. but i'm getting powerful tired of pointless, off-topic
signatures. and it's not just the length these days.
over the last few days, i've had sigs on technical newsgroups tell
me more than i want to know about their posters's political leanings,
their fondness for thomas jefferson quotes, their religious affiliation,
their love of the second amendment, and so on. and i *know* those
aren't company policy sigs.
so it's not just the length that's getting irritating. is there
some sort of grassroots movement i can start to get people to
smarten up with their sigs? just curious. sigh.
