I always thought that it was silly when people put disclaimers in their sig:
"The views expressed are mine alone and not those of my ISP.".
I mean, who would ever think that an entity was supporting a view
just because it appeared after the @ in an address or in a Received: header?
But perhaps these disclaimers are necessary after all.

Disclaimer: The views expressed here are mine alone
and are not those of the University of California,
the mathematics community at large, my parents,
or the guy sitting next to me at the next computer.
They are, however, the views of most residents of Kinshasa,
although that's just one of those freaky coincidences.
