[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!]

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? |
