Just use common sense.  Saying "don't read this" in text AFTER the bit
you don't want people to read is absolute lunacy!  To have any legal
meaning, it has to be BEFORE the bit you're trying to protect.

































If you read the above text, you have violated my right to privacy and
are due a fee of twenty pounds, payable in beer at the next GLLUG pub
meet.
