I apologize for the legalese; as others have suggested it’s corporate IT policy and I have no control over it. I certainly intended no offense to the community
here. I will use my personal email for future inquiries on this mailing list. Thanks, Mike From: Craig James [mailto:cjames@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]
(I've changed the original subject, "autovacuum locking question", of the sender's email so as not to hijack that thread.) On Thu, Dec 5, 2019 at 2:26 PM Mike Schanne <mschanne@xxxxxxx> wrote:
Sorry to be off topic, but this bugs me. Language is important. This isn't directed at you specifically, but I see these disclaimers all the time. How can you post to a public newsgroup that automatically reproduces your email to thousands
of subscribers, and additionally publishes it on publicly accessible archives, in direct conflict with your company's policy appended to your email? And why on Earth do your company's lawyers think this sort of disclaimer is helpful and even legally useful?
Not to mention, do they realize it's vaguely offensive to every customer and colleague who receives it?
