I completely agree with all of the above. It's quite frustrating when
people break these rules.

This one's a bit strange. One could very easily classify anyone on the
list and anyone that could ever possibly read the list as *the
intended audience* so therefore there's no problem.

Posting on the mailing list implicitly allows people to read it, these
disclaimers would then explicitly allow people to read the posts.

I do have a problem with big disclaimers - and unfortunately a lot of
them are quite large.

Would everyone here still consider them to be bad etiquette even after
reading my response?

Thanks
Srdjan
