Doug Pauls Graham Collins <[log in to unmask]> Sent by: TechNet <[log in to unmask]> 12/22/2011 08:10 AM Please respond to TechNet E-Mail Forum <[log in to unmask]>; Please respond to <[log in to unmask]> To <[log in to unmask]> cc Subject Re: [TN] Holiday wishes Ed, I'm hugely offended that you would send me such a wishy-washy piece of legalese! :-) Merry Christmas!!! regards, - Graham -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ed Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2011 9:57 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Holiday wishes I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to friends and family, but it is difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my lawyer yesterday, and on advice I wish to say the following : Please accept, with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress , non addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday practiced with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and / or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all . I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2012, but not without due respect for the calendar of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great ( not to imply that the USA is necessarily greater than any other country ) and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee . By accepting this greeting, please be advised that you are accepting these terms : This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable on the proviso that there is no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/him or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. The wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher .
