..hence the habit of some organizations to include huge signatures at the bottom of all emails detailing the privacy issues.

wtf is a "social contract" anyway? An agreement that we know each other? Are there actual terms? The email isn't a contract. It's the message you're conveying to the other person. Where's the actual contract, because I want to see the terms?

People "selling" "social" are really working OT to wring some money out of all of this before it all goes POP.

With you on this one Steven. Email is nothing more than the electronic replacement for snail mail and as such is expected to be treated with all the same privacy values.

It's just a shame that many idiots do not equate it as such because of the ease of sending an email.

If sending an email required as much effort as actually hand writing a letter, getting and envelope, addressing it, posting a stamp and finding a post box, then people would treat it with a lot more respect.

Alas, this will never happen.
