Thank you all for your posts.

Maybe I didn't explain myself thoroughly at the beginning of the thread. I'm just curious about the issue, not that I plan to base anything on a contract or rely on it if legally binding. I'm aware that they're not.

I ran into a sample one and I was wondering if it was a regular practice... Just nerdiness at work.

Thanks again to all of you for taking the time to post here.
