Re: Issue with a flag that I defined getting set to zero

Gabriel,

Yes, indeed, thank you.

Note, it is a reminder to those that are receiving proprietary
and that is considered as a legal obligation on the part of the
company transmitting it because they must make an effort to
protect their proprietary information.

I'm not a lawyer either but I feel like I'm being forced to
act like one. 😉

Now, can anybody answer my question?

Sincerely

Gary

As far as I know the notice has no legal significance at all (which Gary
should probably point out to his management. Really, pretty much the
only thing the disclaimer will do is that _some_ people _might_ read it
and _some_ of those people _might_ adhere to the terms given there,
which is basically meaningless compared to the general annoyance
resulting from disclaimers being at the end of e-mails everywhere). You
can't just magically establish an agreement that results in a duty of
nondisclosure like this without agreement, and just receiving an email
obviously isn't that.

(although ironically, I guess I should add a disclaimer of my own: I
ain't a lawyer and this isn't legal advice)
