Musings from Brian J. Noggle: I Didn't Sign That Paperwork

I Didn't Sign That Paperwork

A friend e-mailed me from his new job, and I saw his signature block was doubtlessly a company recommendation:

Dear unnamed company functionary, please note that my receipt and opening a message that came from your servers does not constitute a legally binding agreement on my part. Come and get me if you must, but please spare me the ill-informed bluster.
