"Dude" I did read the disclaimer and there is nothing in it that prohibited the email from being shared publicly. Reading the full disclaimer and applying it to this context shows why.
First sentence:
This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information. There is nothing in the response from Arcteryx stating that the information in the email is confidential or privileged. So the generic disclaimer language that the the email "may" contain confidential and/or privileged information is not applicable because there is nothing that says what is being communicated in this particular email is confidential or privileged. The email I received from Arcteryx did not say, "don't tell anyone, but this stuff is fake." The email from Arcteryx did not say anywhere that the information was being provided only to me in confidence or that it was privileged information that I needed to keep under wraps. In fact, the email sender explictly expresses his desire to share the information publicly by stating that he would look into signing up on this forum and posting the information himself. His express statement of intent to share the information publicly definitively shows that the information was not intended to kept confidential or privileged.
Second sentence:
If you are not the intended recipient (or have received this e-mail in error) please notify the sender immediately and destroy this e-mail. I was the intended recipient, so once again this generic disclaimer language is not applicable either.
Third sentence:
Any unauthorized copying, disclosure or distribution of the material in this e-mail is strictly forbidden. The key part of this sentence is the word "unauthorized." Not all copying, disclosure, or distribution is prohibited. Only "unauthorized" copying, disclosure or distribution is prohibited. In context, someone who was not the intended recipient is "unauthorized." Not the case here. In context, someone who received confidential and/or privileged information is "unauthorized." Not the case here either.
While your conclusion about my potential legal liability is misplaced, thanks for being concerned.
