Multiplying Mistakes

It is the classic email mistake. 
Everyone I know has done it at least once. 
I sent out a reply which was supposed to go
to a specific person and it went to the entire loop
(blasted Yahoo). 

So what did I do? 

I thought about sending out an email
asking recipients to ignore the previous one.  
Not a good choice.  
That would rouse curiosity,
prompting a higher percentage of readers. 

So I ignored it
(there was nothing terribly embarrassing
in the email).  

And I received zero comments on it. 
Which gets me to thinking that
most people don’t read their emails.

  1. Been there done that.

    The worst is when someone multiplies the error for you, i.e., when some wise guy replies to all saying something like “glad you informed us all of …”

    (happened to me once)
