LEGAL NOTICE
This website contains a number of email addresses, which are intended for personal communications with the website's authors and maintainers. By sending electronic mail to any of these addresses, or any email address in the mcwalter.org and mcwalter.net domains, the
sender (i.e. you) explicitly consents to all of the following terms:
- to grant the recepient (mcwalter.org and mcwalter.net maintainers and their associates or employees) a permanent, irrevocable licence to print, publish, or otherwise disseminate, in whole or in part, in any medium, electronic or otherwise, such email communications.
(Informally, this means that if you send us an email, by doing this you're allowing us to post it, including your name and email address, on our website or anywhere else. Generally we'll respect your privacy if you ask us to, but we always reserve the right to publish your mail if we feel its
content warrants this. If you don't like this policy then don't send an email.)
- to send only non-commercial communications directly related to this website or its contents. Any other communication is prohibited by law, under the terms of The Telecommunications (Data Protection and Privacy) (Direct Marketing) Regulations 1998 [Statutory Instrument 1998 No. 3170]. All emails
to these addresses will be transmitted on a public telephone line and received by a facsimile device, and as such constitute unsoliticited calls defined by statute. This notice constitutes explicit prior notice to the sender that such calls must not be made. By sending unsolicited commercial
communications (whether these communications constitute solicitations of trade or not) you consent to pay a per-item storage and handling fee of 500 (five hundred) dollars US, payable within 28 days of the initial transmission of said email item.
(Informally, this means that if you send us commercial email that you can't prove we asked you to send, you're agreeing to pay us 500 US dollars for each and every such email.)
NOTICE TO BULK E-MAILERS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES Pursuant to US Code, Title 47, Chapter 5, Subchapter II, p. 227, any and all nonsolicited commercial E-Mail sent to any email address within the mcwalter.net and mcwalter.org domains, and any associated subdomains, is subject to a download and
archival fee in the amount of Five Hundred Dollars US. E-Mailing denotes acceptance of these terms. Consider this official notification. Failure to abide by this will result in legal action.
"Spam" email from mcwalter.org and mcwalter.net
You may have received unsolicited email of a commercial nature that appears to eminate from our domains (mcwalter.org and mcwalter.net). This is not the case. We NEVER send unsolicited commercial email. Such emails ("SPAM") often contain falsified sender's addresses, intended to deflect attention
from the real culprits.
So please don't send us angry emails asking us to remove you from our mailing list - we don't have a mailing list, and we didn't send you any mail.
Informally, we'd strongly recommend you not reply to such spam emails - doing so only tells the spammers that they're sending to an address which is being read by a real person. They're very unlikely to take heed of your protests. Similarly, clicking those "please remove me from your list" links
they put on their emails is generally a very bad idea.
Update:
In February 2004 we started to receive "email undeliverable" messages from various mail servers, which appear to be responding to virus emails from a (non-existent) email address in the mcwalter.net domain. A closer look at all of these shows that the emails infact appear to come from
cpe249018.cabotva.net, which seems to be an ISP in Portugal. The email addresses have forged "from" fields, making them appear to come from mcwalter.net. You won't receive a virus email from either mcwalter.org or mcwalter.net, for several very good technical reasons: firstly, we don't
run the kind of stupid software that actually gets viruses (Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Outlook in particular). If you still run either of these programs then it's only a matter of time before you get a virus yourself. Secondly, our website's ISP scans both incoming and outgoing
emails for viruses (we get several emails from them each day, telling us they've intercepted a virus heading our way). So, to summarise, if you think you received a virus from mcwalter.net, you didn't.
