So why the big deal?
Because it's very rude -- like top-posting, or full-quoting, or sending email marked up with HTML. Because it's an unprovoked threat. Because it's an attempt to unilaterally shove an unenforceable contract down the throats of everyone reading it. Because it's a tip-off that the sender does not value the time or resources of recipients. Because it's insulting. Because (borrowing from first link below) it's simply too stupid for words.
