Oh, no, it's the *legal* department (or maybe HR) that is to blame. I
actually had a guardhouse lawyer kick and scream about us not putting
disclaimers on our emails. I told him, "You do realize that email
disclaimers have no legal standing, have never been successfully used
in any litigation, do nothing to prevent loss of corporate assets, and
actually increase our liability by outlining a corporate policy that
may not be followed 100% internally by all employees, right?"

It took a long while and an embarrassing number of meetings with
senior management, but we eventually put a stop to the whole thing.
