Every once in a while somebody sends out an email to a mailing list that turns out to span the entire office. Very often this results in a barrage of emails from people asking to be removed from this mailing list. Fun begins when the thread explodes with people asking others to refrain from ‘replying-to-all’, while ironically doing the same!
The joys of such exchanges can truly brighten up what may have been a boring day till then!
(Read the following email thread from bottom to top – the way email threads are meant to be read)

It seems this is some game… Everyone replying please – “Please stop sending mail”
Better follow what you guys think best to stop this chain. Else many need to waste their time to read this and delete the spam.

haha. I know, all I do with spammers is to send them to a separate folder, which I can read at leisure.
And there was one office spammer who used to have this as his signature “if you do not wish to receive emails from me, please reply back!” A spammer with ethics !

‘Reply All’ sometimes can turn out to be the best of laughter generating inventions. And in this case, it seems to have been a very healthy laugh !

LOL! Entirely by mistake, I once sent out a ‘Client visiting office. Observe protocol’ email to the All Employees mail group instead of of All Mumbai Client Servicing Employees mail group. I was deleting angry/funny replies for days after that!
