Hey Chuck, > You cannot be forced into a legally binding contract simply by reading > a statement, no.

I read that 'agreement' about 20 times before posting. I am definately not worried about getting sued by him (whose name I am 'legally' refrained from mentioning here; because, by reading his message, I obviously agreed not to mention 'he who cannot be mentioned'; I thought "Jahweh" had a patent on that...), but I found it to be utterly incomprehensible. My first reaction was "WTF? This is the stupidest disclaimer I have *ever* seen.". Then I wondered whether Austrian people have a special kind of humor. Then, I decided to ask. Again, sorry for the noise; this time I couldn't resist. Thanks and bye... Nico
