winterbadgerPerson A sends an email to (from the list of addresses of entire business units) everyone in the corporation about a local (Fairfax) issue that can't really be resolved by sending people an email.
Persons B-E reply all "Gee, no, I can't help you" (one or more pointing out that their office isn't even in the Commonwealth of Virgina.
Persons F-K reply "Please stop replying to everyon." One person even writes a two-paragraph email explaining why Persons B-E may not have realized that they were doing this, or may mistakenly have thought it was a good idea, but should nonetheless desist.
Uh, folks, some of you sending the "please desist" messgaes were writing mroe than half an hour apart; FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE!
IMO, someone participating in more than one of these dorkfests per year should be fired for incompetence. Makes as much sense as firing people for having porn on their computers.
Edit: we are now up over 15 entries and climbing rapidly. I guess I should just be grateful, considering how broad-cast the message was, that it isn't *more*.
Also: My friend Nick sent this to myself and another friend. I love Nick. :-)
Later edit: We're up to 25 emails now, whihc people beginning to employ threats and insults.

Have you heard about the controversy surrounding the Centreville High School electronic signboard? It seems somebody at SAIC promised to pay for it, but it's not clear who, although it might have been somebody in the Fairfax County area. If you have any ideas, be sure to let everybody in the whole company know.

Each of those emails gets responded to by EVERYONE.

Sometimes each item in an email gets a separate response from the same people... and it's all CC'd to everyone.
