Do NOT reply to all

It seems that some people will never learn from other people's mistakes. We all fear it. You send a personal email at work and double-check the "To:" line. You receive an email that was sent to everyone and really only mean to send a reply to the person that sent it in the first place. But, whoops! What's that silly "reply to all" mean?? Gee, I haven't the faintest...

Ha! That's hilarious! We always have dumb people around here who get a company email that doesn’t apply to them and they reply to all saying “I don’t think I was supposed to get this”…shortly after someone else replies to all saying the same thing…then other people start replying to all saying “Don’t reply to all”…pretty soon about 50 people have replied to the whole company saying “Don’t reply to all”. Don’t they know that they are replying to all, saying “Don’t reply to all”?
