...so...by now people have gone from complaining about the resulting spam to (mostly) doling out advice on how not to spam themselves. Get this; a bunch of people with doctorates and a presumed IQ above 70 send out what they believe to be private emails filled with good advice for the ones who accidentally spam the entire list.
Invariably the email goes something like this: "Hey, NN. I do not have a particular need to be informed that you wish to be removed from the mailing list. If you want off the list, simply hit the "Reply" button instead of the "Reply all" button and type in your request to be removed from said list. That way we don't all get hit with your email.
..and then they're probably confused as hell about why their supposedly private email is sent to everyone on the mailing list. Brutal lack of understanding how a mailing list works.
That's it; I'm writing down each and every single blowhard who does this on my personal $hit list.

This sounds way too familiar...
..familiar as in "whut's wrong with hittin' the reply button?" or familiar as in "not this $hit again, in 200-freakin-9"?
The latter...
At your "workplace"?
Yes. Had an incident like that two months ago. Bunch of people doing the "reply all and ask people to stop pressing reply all"-routine. It gets really old, really fast. But what can you do?
