Email Gets Stupid
Important Notice: The information contained in this email, including any attached files, may be confidential, proprietary and/or legally privileged.

I get more and more emails every day with a message such as the one above. Some are worded differently, but all have the same idea in mind. In fact I am getting forwarded emails of stupid jokes with that tacked on the bottom.
What a joke. Doesn't anyone read what they are sending? Read it carefully, keeping in mind those type of paragraphs are always included at the end of the email body.
First of all, if I am not the intended recipient, why did you send it to me in the first place. Second, it is at the end of your message, so I have already read all the other contents first.
On another note, considering my email address is at the top, or I wouldn't get it in the first place, I can't tell if it is intended for me or not until I read it.
If I received that email in error, that's your fault. My email address is in the header or I wouldn't be reading it. You sent it.
Since it is mine, I will disclose, distribute or do whatever I want with it. Prohibited? By whom? I should decide since it is my email.
