Litigation-free Greetings.

[billofdurham]

Please accept without obligation, explicit or implicit, my best wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, politically
correct, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, financially successful,
personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset
of the calendar year 2009 CE (C.E., being an abbreviation for "Common
Era" or "Christian Era", is equivalent to A.D., but is placed after the year,
and is preferred by some in secular writing), but with due respect for the
calendars of other cultures or sects, and having regard to the race,
creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer
platform or dietary preference of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting you acknowledge that: This greeting is
subject to further clarification or withdrawal at the wishor's
discretion.

This greeting is freely transferable provided that no alteration shall
be made to the original greeting and that the proprietary rights of the
wishor are acknowledged.

This greeting implies no warranty on the part of the wishor to fulfill
these wishes, nor any ability of the wishor to do so, merely a
beneficent hope on the part of the wishor that they in fact occur.

This greeting may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions and/or the
restrictions herein may not be binding upon certain wishees in certain
jurisdictions and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wishor.

This greeting is warranted to perform as reasonably as may be expected
within the usual application of good tidings, for a period of one year
or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes
first.

The wishor warrants this greeting only for the limited replacement
of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the
wishor.

Any references in this greeting to any festive figures, whether actual
or fictitious, dead or alive, shall not imply any endorsement by or from
them in respect of this greeting, and all proprietary rights in any referenced
third party names and images are hereby acknowledged.

Now to be serious - A Happy New Year to everyone with a sincere wish that things improve greatly in 2009 and, of course, many miles of trouble-free motoring.

Bill.
