Hi all.
On NPR this morning there was a commentary about the most dangerous use of
email--the "Reply All" button.
We, at LM_NET, need to get better at NOT hitting that reply all button.
A recent thread about weeding, which someone mislabeled "WEDDING" is a
particularly annoying example.
When someone asks for personal advice about a topic, please be very careful
about sending your advice to everyone.
I know on my gmail account I have to consciously decide to choose "Reply
All," the default being to reply to sender. Maybe this is not the default
with other email systems so users need to be even more cautious.
Just a little vent early on a Friday morning. ;<)
