What the hell is it with lawyers?

You'd think lawyers would be the people most aware of the risks of sending dodgy emails to all and sundry, yet once again we have a story of lawyers passing on a silly email to all their mates.

The lesson, once again, is if you don't want to see the text next to your picture on the six o'clock news, then don't write it.

But I continue to wonder why I hear so many stories about lawyers and dumb Internet usage. Over the years I've heard stories of sexual harassment, dissing clients and all manner of inappropriate behaviour. Is it because they believe they are untouchable?
