Confused Again: Let's get this straight. An email from this PR firm "should only be read by those persons to whom it is addressed." So if it wasn't addressed to me, how is it that I'm reading this disclaimer ...

Stop the Presses: This concert promoter actually has a useful disclaimer on its weekly newsletter - written in plain English, no less ...

    "Disclaimer - We at Higher Listening do our very best to read the minds of the bands, venues, and whoever else we can. Most the time we are pretty good at it and the shows listed here go off without a hitch, but every once in a while a fast one gets pulled on us and the shows get changed. If this happens please just chalk it to 'life' and see another great show. Thanks."
