Disclaimer: My opinions are my own

My employer has sent out new rules, one of which is that employees are to include a disclaimer when posting to forums or blogs that the opinions posted are "not the opinions of my employer".

This was covered in a memo on use of the company equipment, so am I to assume that I can now post to this blog while I'm at work, just so long as I post the disclaimer? If so, cool. But somehow, I doubt it.

Anyway, I doubt that any of you know (or care) who my employer is, but just in case someone from the corporate office is a) reading this blog and b) actually knows who it belongs to, let me post my disclaimer:

THE OPINIONS POSTED HERE ARE MINE AND MINE ALONE! THEY ARE NOT THE OPINIONS OF MY EMPLOYER, AND MY EMPLOYER IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT IT MAY NOT MAKE ANY CLAIMS TO AGREE WITH ME ON ANY POINT WHATSOEVER REGARDING WHAT I HAVE POSTED IN MY BLOG!

Now, let them put that in their pipes and smoke it.
