Re: Polite political discourse is NECESSARY
by Rainbirds

A few days ago, some idiot that I e-mailed for work sent out the latest ZOMG POLITICAL SCANDAL meme. Looks like she sent it to absolutely everyone in her address book. Since she's a moron, she cc'd everyone instead of bcc'ing. When I got her first e-mail, I deleted it without even looking at it. Of course, since half the people she sent her e-mail to wrote back to argue with her, and THEY don't know proper e-mail etiquette, they just hit "Reply To All." And now I get about three dozen e-mails a day about how Obama is the devil.

Did I mention that I'm a DOD contractor? No one is safe from ignorant e-mailers. Moral of the story...if you're going to send political/religious/whatever e-mails, use BCC NOT CC!!!
