Here is a rant for any group member who uses Reply All consistently.
My forthcoming guidance to my fellow members of [group name] about Reply or Reply All stems from a few days of not checking my computer for a few days. There were four pages of [group name's] emails that most of us can live without.
If someone wants to thank a fellow group member or add a 1- or 2-word comment, can't they just message the one person? True; those messages are nice. . . for the one recipient.
These voluminous messages have me almost putting [our group name's] messages of Thanks and Congratulations in my junk mail folder.
It's ridiculous: I'll see a congratulation message for one person go out to Reply All, which prompts additional thanks or congratulations from every Tom, Dick and Harry is sent - again - to the masses. Then each recipient thanks the sender (and everyone else), ad nauseum. It's an endless cycle of nonsense.
Save Reply All for original questions, new information, or helpful answers. Everything else is a waste of everybody's time.
I apologize for ranting.
Just hope I don't trip when I get down from my soapbox. 'Nuff said?
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
