Would you really feel compelled to obey?
I emailed a question to someone about my car (getting a km/h odometer face to replace the mph one), and got a one-sentence reply from someone today. One sentence, their name, then this stuff stuck at the bottom. Kinda makes the old tradition of 4-line signatures burn in Hell:

love it — cargo-cult law. I doubt any of those email tumours have ever been tested in court, anywhere.
– and “swept by Anti-Virus software”? I’d prefer if it had been scanned, or even analyzed, but a quick scrub with some kind of a sweeping-brush would have to do, I guess.
