And This Is Why God Gave Us the BCC Field

The header from e-mail that arrived this past week. I get a lot of e-mail from this sender, and it always begins the same:

Naturally, a distressing number of recipients choose to reply to these messages by clicking “reply all,” generating messages of staggering length until you get to the latest entry, which generally is something like, “Do you still need help with that?”

Similarly, a distressing number of e-mailers out there seem not to know how to un-select their caps lock key.

How long has e-mail been around by now?
