Reply All:
We've all accidentally hit "Reply All" to an email we didn't intend to send to everyone on the address list. I once did this in a study group in college. In my email I pointedly and thoroughly insulted someone to whom I then breezily sent the email. Really smart Anna. I had to bake him cookies for weeks to get rid of the guilt on that one.
But these days, when something like this happens, you know what people do?? Start a Blog about it.
This is the story of what happens when some poor kid applying to law school accidentally hits the "Reply All" button: a maelstrom of emails began to circulate around this guy in a spontaneous internet community. But what is really really funny is that if you look at the very VERY first email that was sent back to this poor kid you will see that it was DAVIN* who sent it.
That's right. This is his fault.
*for those of your unfamiliar with the concept of "Davin" know that he is my little brother.

Funny part is that it happens all the time. You can multiple the silliness of the responses by the number of persons in the mail list.
At the office, someone accidently sent an email stating a problem to the incorrect mass email list. Within 5 mins, there were 9 persons who did a reply all and saying the exact same thing: "Was I supposed to get this?"
After I sent another mass note saying to actually ignore the first one, 10 more people had asked the same question about whether or not they should have gotten it. A few more did a reply all to my note asking if they should have gotten it as well.

Ouch. That always hurts when you push the send button and realize the person you were slamming was included in the addressee list.
It would be a little bit like insulting Anna on her very own blog. Like the story about the jello and the painting: for more details, a website is coming to a server near you. MUHUHUWAH!!!
