In one of my social groups, not work related, one guy went on many rants

about people copying everyone with their responses to a question. He thought only the person who asked the question should get the responses. This was directly related to policies at his job. But everyone else said they were interested in many of the responses and even if not, we all knew where the delete key is. He finally calmed down.

Haha. That's a good one. ** -- MP4VT2004 02/22/2019 12:55PM

The latter scenario is actually really bad e-mail protocol he wants you to -- BG Hokie 02/22/2019 08:05AM

I completely agree - I think it's dangerous too. -- MP4VT2004 02/22/2019 10:24AM

Send him an email with subject line -- capitals1 02/22/2019 12:50AM

I hate when people write entire emails in the subject line -- RoanokieHokie04 02/21/2019 11:42PM

If it the entire message fits there..... -- HokieDan95 02/22/2019 10:13AM

Did they give you a reason? -- Tafkam Hokie 02/21/2019 9:05PM

You should have a used shorter subject line ** -- bigbadbird 02/21/2019 8:42PM

Or better yet... -- MP4VT2004 02/21/2019 8:51PM

Write “See Body of Email for Subject” in the subject line. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 02/21/2019 8:31PM

This is perfect. -- MP4VT2004 02/21/2019 8:32PM

I can see 2 outcomes: -- thankbud 02/21/2019 8:27PM

Ha. Thankfully this person has no direct say over my employment. -- MP4VT2004 02/21/2019 8:29PM

Good luck. I have a high degree of difficulty with that "bite the tongue". ** -- thankbud 02/21/2019 8:31PM

I am usually able to deflect that angst in a different direction. -- MP4VT2004 02/21/2019 10:03PM
