Why does everyone feel the need to put in all these disclaimers?  - "my
opinions, not those of the US government, blah blah blah". Does anyone
suppose that anyone might suppose that newsgroup ramblings might amount to
official policy statements by organisations? Has anyone gotten into trouble
in the past over this sort of thing? Enquiring minds want to know.
