I don't know about you but I learned a long time ago that it's 'better to be safe than sorry'. I take an umbrella with me and hope it doesn't rain, take a jacket in case the weather changes, put confidentiality warnings on my e-mails. Some are important and confidential; others are less so -'can we change our lunch from Monday to Wednesday?' The lack of importance of the content does not seem to stop us from including these lengthy and ominous sounding warnings about the dire consequences of reading the email if it's not meant for you and what you should do if you got the email in error. I am very sensitive regarding the confidentiality of the information I send and to whom, but by now I have gotten so used to seeing these warnings that I very rarely read them. To me they have become about as effective as the health warnings on beer, wine or cigarettes.
