Awwww, such anger towards a stranger on the internet. You really should get outside more. I hear that gardening is therapeutic.

What an insensitive thing to say. whatshisname's girlfriend was killed by a drunk-driving landscaper.

You do know there is a farker named Quel. I think that's the person you wanted.

Guys,
I think someone should break the chain of email and start the subject over again with the people who really should be involved.

Where I work all messages from up-on-high that are sent to a large list of individual recipients, as opposed to a group, are BCC'd. The body of the message contains something along the lines of, "send replies to emailaddress

Makes this sort of thing not work.

This happened at a place I worked, with 50,000 people I didn't know. I was surprised how many people tried to force their strong will across cat 5 to make everyone stop. Some were very heated. Companies spend millions upon millions on worthless meetings trying to get everyone on the same page about something. When it happens within minutes for free including everyone from the CEO down to the lowest housekeeper with an email account, not one person thinks Hmmm, for a minute there everyone in the company was on the same page.

I know some of you might have to abc123 your way through 500+ emails a day - but do you know how powerful it is for a whole large cap to share a moment? The act of communication is sometime more important than the content.

That shiat happens at my job a couple of times per year. The email goes out to all immigration officers all over the damned world and then we get hundreds of reply all's "this went to the wrong person" then the helpful asses who say "quit replying all!"

Then every hour it repeats as each subsequent time zone has more workers starting.

It got to the point where it will now go on your performance review if you reply.

As a former mail administrator for a very large organization, there are multiple methods of dealing with this, but all of the easiest ones involve disabling the list for a few hours, or disabling its ability to send, then parsing through queued messages and deleting anything that's a reply-to the original subject line. If it's a true list, then people are just replying to one email address that distributes the email among list members.

Sounds like either someone was literally asleep at the switch or they just didn't give a fark.
