"reply to all"

note to all who use email.

the "reply to all" option should be used ONCE IN A WHILE. this is especially true when at work.

yesterday, a group email was sent to everyone at the company for which i work advising that one of the warehouse managers was retiring. i had no fewer than 30 "well wishes" emails to the future retiree ... all of which i simply deleted. it's lovely that everyone loves bob, but why do i need to be included? this made my usual 100+ emails a day go to 130 emails ... something i did not appreciate!!
