[ILUG] [OT] email disclaimers

[Padraig Brady]

There is no legal protection provided by any public
disclaimer like this. Another practical example is
say in Hotel car parks where they say "vehicles parked
at your own risk nadda nadda..". This has no legal
binding and they are responsible if your car is broken
into etc. etc.
