Sorry, I got behind on my email and I'm only just getting through some of it 
now...

Tony,
Is there any way you can cut down on that ridiculous block at the end of your 
emails?

The DMS disclaimer is longer than most, and hence annoying, but this list has 
already discussed the unfortunate neccessity of having them.

My real complaint here is the first notice.  It's 6 lines of spam!  That's as 
many lines as your message!  I don't blame you personally, but I'm offended 
that spam has become so pervasive that I have to see it when reading 
legitimate email.  Can't DMS be made to see reason on this?

I suspect that others may agree with me, but they could well be filtering out 
your emails due to the significant "lack of content" tacked onto the end of them.
