Our company is interested in establishing guidelines and standard disclaimer notices for our users who post articles to Usenet News. We wish to make it clear that any messages or opinions expressed are the viewpoint of the individual and in no way reflect the opinion or position of the corporation or it's other employees. Can anyone provide me with samples of the standard disclaimer state- ment your company may require with respect to the posting of articles to Usenet Newsgroups or any of the myriad of topical mailing lists? Also, if your company has a corporate policy regarding non-official use of the internet, could you forward a copy of that policy? We are surveying other businesses prior to formalizing our own statements and will share a summary of the results of our survey if anyone is interested. If this is a FAQ, I apoligize in advance, and hopefully some kind soul will direct me to an archive where I can glean this info. Thanks in advance, Tom Darling Systems Administrator ORA Corporation

The above paragraph seems like a fairly good disclaimer notice to me!

Except that the apostrophe in the last line should be deleted.

One of the things that I have never understood is how someone can think that any poster is the representative of his/her employer. Such disclaimers shouldn't be required in intelligent company. -- No News is Bad News

One isn't simply speaking; one is using one's employer's equipment to speak.
If I send a letter on corporate stationery, it may be assumed (unless
disclaimed) to be the position of the company.

Check out my "Organization:" header. It's not corporate-blessed, but
I think it gets the idea across without a lot of fuss. I have smail
and various news readers configured to use the above as the default
"Organization" header if one doesn't already exist.
