Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

[We used to get the occasional email avalanche resulting from that - especially including the emails to all sent to say "please don't reply to all"! In the end the messaging team changed the default reply type to "reply to sender only", and also used some off the shelf tool to catch multiple reply to all responses. Was fun, though!]

[I like it when you get a reply to all response to messages like this saying “please remove me from this conversation” and a 100 others take this as a cue to do the same]

One of my favourite days at work was when the whole email system was brought down by a reply all email chain going mental. Every time I came back from a meeting it had got worse. It even made the news news.com.au

That happened at my work way back when. I needed to finish a task before heading home and was not as amused as all the people added to the problem with emails along the lines of "tee hee, isn't it nice to talk to people across the country, hello from *wherever idiots come from*".

Dear Garmin,
I realise these things are all based on estimates, but how can half an hour of easy running burn roughly the same calories as two hours of moderate cycling?

Got something to say?
