Ok, maybe not scientific. But by my calculations, I have sent over 216,000 emails over the last 8 years (many with glorious colour), with just about all of them having a disclaimer on it that was complete nonsense and gibberish (by the way, I can’t take credit for writing it, nor will I, but I don’t remember where I got it either). But it’s awesome.
In 8 years, I have had exactly 9 people comment on it (ala notice it). The other guys in the office also had it tacked onto their emails for some time, so it has been passed around to tonnes of people, including C level folks at multi-billion dollar companies and nobody batted an eye. 🙂
If you haven’t seen it, enjoy it now. Absquatulate, still makes me smile…
