Humans have been emailing for decades now and everybody’s pretty much gotten the hang of it. Still, there remains a small-but-relentless herd of individuals out there who constantly use Reply All to respond to one person in a group email. And they ruin it for everybody.
When you use Reply All to say “Thanks,” or “Sorry, can’t make it,” or “Hope your mom’s doing well,” the rest of us pray you get anal fissures. No one thinks it’s charming or hilarious. It’s lazy and annoying.
If you wouldn’t call 20 different phone numbers to say it, then don’t Reply All. Knock-knock, “Oh, hi, I just wanted you to know I told Tim to feel better and added an LOL.” You’d feel like a dipshit, right? That’s because you’d BE a dipshit. And when you send that via Reply All you ARE a dipshit.
Only you can end the dipshittery.
Electronic lunacy comes in many forms...
