Not really.

It would help far more if you could stop having this disclaimer appear
at all on this list (or any other list, really, but that's a matter
for those lists to complain about).

This can be achieved either by preventing the disclaimer from being
attached, or by not posting from accounts that will cause the
disclaimer to appear.
