That's not a disclaimer! It's just an aside. A disclaimer would be more like
>It will be to my advantage if you believe X.
Although even that doesn't exactly follow the dictionary definition of a disclaimer, people do seem to generally mean it as a disclosure.
- vitovito 14y agoThanks! I felt since I was quoting an essay in a future edition of a quarterly which you'd have to pay to read, it would, indirectly, be to my advantage, and, as such, warranted a disclaimer.
- MaysonL 14y agoNot a disclaimer, merely shameless (and not at all shameful) and worthy self-promotion.
