Legal disclaimers often have pronouns, right?

"The information contained in this email message is intended only for the personal use of the recipient(s) named above.

Malicious compliance it and replace all of the pronouns: "The information contained in this email message is intended only for the personal use of the recipient(s) named above. If the recipient is not an intended recipient of this email, the recipient is hereby notified that any review, dissemination or copying of this email is strictly prohibited. If the recipient received this email in error, please immediately notify John Doe by replying to this message and then delete this email from the recipient's system."

Fuck 'em. I'm sure with a bit of work they could come up with some stuff that renders it nearly unreadable.
