+1.  These disclaimers are not only most likely toothless (though IANAL), but it
does place the community in the position of either needing to take the effort to
scrub your emails from the archives to be in compliance with the disclamer, or
to take the legal risk that such a disclaimer actually has merit.  If your
company can't abide by you removing such a notice, than that company can't
participate in open source.
