The following list is just a few of the hundreds of email messages that were waiting for me the other day at work. I’ve highlighted some of the more interesting ones. A little bird once told me that it is better to blog out your message rather than email spam everyone you know and then some.

• Don’t know why this was sent to me?
• Please STOP using reply to all
• You have the wrong person.
• Is this a phishing scam?
• What is this?
• Stop
• Why am I getting these emails?
• Make it stop….
• STOP RESPONDING
• Let’s stop the reply all, please.
• Stop this Reply to all ASAP.
• I have no idea what this is about.
• STOP REPLY ALL COULD BE VIRUS
• Would you all please STOP! That is a huge nested distribution list!!!
• And to everyone else…the REPLY button is the one to the left of the REPLY to ALL button and then the rest of us won’t have to delete 3000 emails.
• 4.1 heading is rather suspect – kindly remove me from the list
• All, there is no need to reply to all.
• STOP doing a RESPOND ALL!! I have enough stuff in my inbox!!
• A false conclusion once arrived at and widely accepted is not easily dislodged, and the less it is understood, the more tenaciously it is held
• Not sure why I am on this list. I do not have a clue
• Folks, let’s try using BCC next time.
• Stop! Stop! Stop!
• JANE STOP THIS CRAZY THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Not meant for me either.
• Stop replying to all you’re creating an email storm
• I have no idea what this is either.
• Ryan, You have the wrong distribution list. Wrong Taylor, wrong everyone.
• I don’t have any idea what this is about…!!!
• QUIT CC-ing ALLLLLL!!!
• The “Reply All’ is a bit annoying – isn’t it?
• Whoo Hoo RIDE THE WAVE
• Something is really wrong here. I wonder if this is some SPAM. How could all of us be getting this by mistake
• We should stop replying.
• PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO ALL LIKE I JUST HAVE.
• Does everyone have to reply to all like I’m doing?
• Hey, I’m not part of this please quit sending me messages!!!!!!!
• Please stop!
• Everyone, please respond back only to Ryan…..
• What’s another replay all?
• Hi everyone just wanted to take this opportunity to tell thousands of people I hope they have a good day!
• Who am I?
• Obviously the email was sent out by mistake….inboxes are being flooded. THANK YOU!!!
• This Distribution List contains several large nested Distribution Lists as members. Please refrain from replying to all as each message is sent to many, many users (probably hundreds).
• By saying stop replying to all, you are indeed replying to all.
• As usual Mr. Phelps this message will self-destruct in 15 seconds.
• Please don’t stop. I love filled in-boxes. Who else saw the shuttle?
• I think this is for someone else… I don’t know anything about this thing
• Please take me off this distribution list
• Please remove me from distribution on this message, thank you, Dave
