No. That is a part of my e-mail software set by the IT Admin. When a person 
appends the standard internet disclaimer "My opinion, not my employer's" it 
specifically distinguishes the contents as being of a personal and not a 
corporate nature. This has been an internet standard for well over a decade.

My only other option is to subscribe twice, once so I can respond for 
myself and again so I can be "politically correct" for your sensibilities, 
delicate as they must be.

That is not the case at all. If you wish to disparage me or my posts or 
opinions, please at least be accurate.

>Is this a subtile form of spam Henry?

No. And it's "subtle," BTW.

B&H has no <political colors> of any type whatsoever. I no more presume 
that your personal opinion represents your employer's than you should of me.

I am sorry, but I missed the <many others>. Thank you for speaking for 
those to shy to do so on their own. :-)

>One should never forget that these photography lists are made up of folks

Of which I am one. Remarkably, I too am a "folk."

MY OPINION, not my employer's
