Re: Allow groups.io messages to be more personal

If the legally required information?is expressed concisely in a footer, similar (to but not exactly the same as) the footer that appears at the bottom of this message, then the narrative part could be anything the Owner wishes.
-P. -P.
I expect it's a matter of legal risk avoidance.? Depending on
jurisdiction, Groups.io could be held responsible for the legal text,
which they cannot control unless they force its inclusion. Alternatively
they could require a legal review of everyone's submitted text, which
would be cost prohibitive.? Yay, 21's century...
Forcing the specific legal text to be included in a footer or such
probably meets the requirement, so to me this would be a viable
alternative.? Probably a matter for discussion on the Beta forum.
