I decided to take advantage of the "if you see this" thing going on with EULAs in my signature. Rather fixes the problem of not being allowed to post PM/E-mails or such without possible legal reprecussions.
I am not a lawyer.
Thoughts?

One problem if I never read your signature it doesn't apply to me. You need to change it to "any private message or email received by myself (Grant A) or at an email addresse or forum account owned by myself, is hereby licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TERMINATE ALL COMMUNICATIONS IMMEDIATELY."Originally Posted by Grant A.

Love the idea!
Not knowing much about US Law... I do know that in some other legal systems some kind of action is required to enact an agreement between to parties, such as all of the messages of party A being treated as under an Open Source license by party B. This is why I at least always have this little "agree" button with the EULA.
But, you could priorly establish (the two parties would expressely agree) that "reading this" consitutes an act of agreement. Also, you could easily do something as "by reading this and not protesting within x units of time" as long as "x units of time" is technically doable. You could thus do something like "all private authorship rights to any messages sent to this address are automatically forfeit and replaced by a public license, if the author or sender (is this an English word?) of the message does not expressely claim his/her rights within x units of time". Because then, the non-protest constitutes an act of agreement....
Remind me, btw, to be careful, if I ever pm you!!
Well, not sure, if you wanted to have such a long answer... but here it is.
