Answer the question, if it interests you, but attach a DCMA take down notice as your sig.

a) company policy that they append it like a .sig
or
b) the corp mail servers automatically append it

If someone asks a good question, don’t punish them because their legal department made some lame email policy.

Coincidently, have you ever seen a disclaimer from a law firm? They’re pretty freaking long. I’d post an example, but I’m pretty sure they’d have grounds for suing me.
