FYI to all reading & participating in this thread:
After receiving a flaming email from someone masking himself as a concerned citizen, I've done some research, and the email bill I quote in my disclaimer is not actually accurate.
The latest can-spam information can be read at the FTC website here:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.htm The new can-spam act that took affect 2004 has the basic same provisions.
The email bill I quoted in the above disclaimer posted previously never was passed. (Good lesson for me to do my own research and not rely on one misleading article passed along to me, even if it was by a lawyer.) If you're curious, go here:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d105:SN01618:@@@L&summ2=m&I'd also like to mention that, contrary to my flame mailer's belief, my post here was not intended to condone actual spamming, and the disclaimer wasn't offered to give anyone "immunity" legally from spamming. You can add any words to the bottom of an email, but still be breaking the law, just as you can misquote the law and still be in compliance of the law. I'd never tell anyone to risk something that could lose them their business, and I hope you all know that.
