What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[MrPopo]

Frown/Smirk: Just hit "Reply All" to a message that didn't need a reply all, one of the recipients on the e-mail string was a DL for the entire company. LAME! I put smirk, because that's just life sometimes, haha.

Let us know if enough people reply all with "I don't think I was supposed to be on this thread" and variations thereof to take down your work's email.

I've only got one response so far and they took the DL off (they're smarter then me.)

I have access to global distribution list, so am able to send things out globally w/o it needing any sort of clearance. Last week I sent out a memo offering a "Free lock out service.

Lock your keys in your car, we'll help you! No need to call a tow-truck, all that is needed is a signed waiver."

One of my older curmudgeons who never likes when I offer new services, hits "reply all" thinking it was an internal memo, with the response:
"I thought we were doing this for emergency only!!!"

That then went to the global list, but because he doesn't have access, it stopped at our PBX who pushes them through. The person processing them must've been on auto-pilot, because she still pushed it through.

So the entire next day I was answering emails from confused staff and annoyed officers in my department.

We have stories of Exchange-hosing reply all fests here at Microsoft. What makes them really fun is that since we're a global company, you'll see a massive shitstorm in the US offices, then it dies down as everyone goes home. Then cue the East Asian offices waking up, seeing this email that they're not sure why it was sent to them, and reply alling.

[Ack]

On October 14, 1997, a Microsoft employee noticed that they were on an as-yet unknown email distribution list 'Bedlam DL3', and emailed the list asking to be removed. This list contained approximately a quarter of the company's employees, 13,000 email addresses. Other users replied to the list with similar requests and still others responded with pleas to stop replying to the list. A Microsoft employee estimates that 15 million emails were sent, using 195 GB of bandwidth.

...I see that I'm a member of this alias. I never subscribed to it, and would like to know:
a) am I supposed to be on it?
b) what is it?

Ditto!
ditto????
Ditto to the response below.
How big is this alias anyway?
Wider distribution...
same here...
Here, as well..
Here too.....
Yep. Over here, too.
yep
and here...
Myself also.........
And me.
Very good question
very very good question
in fact an excellent question
couldn't agree more
Yes, I also think so.
I concur...
Likewise...
Me too!
Me too. Any ideas?
Me, too. I have no idea, either.
me too? What is this?
Yeah, me too.
me three...
moi, aussi.
do not "me too" this is apparently a huge list
it would probably be a good idea to halt the "me too's" before they get out of hand.
At the risk of adding to the avalanche of "me too's:" Me too!
What does it mean?
It's everywhere...
I think there are a few of us...
And me.
spooky...
How odd.
Count me in on the puzzlement.
I am also not related to this alias.
I'm curious also.
OK - I am on it to. Thank you
I am now curious also.
I'm sort of liking it.
Can I be part of the fun too?
Ummm...why am I on this mail?
I'm taking care of this....
I'm still stumped.
Dear sir. Or madam.
How you doing?
what was the original question?
Uhhhh huhu huhu huhu....They said.."Member"

I don't know how I got on here either...and I'm in Tampa.
In Montreal too....
what is this message about?
Maybe if we keep this up we'll figure out what we all have in common...
Maybe someone else is trying to figure out what we all have in common......
Maybe we should all come up with a reason for being on this undecipherable alias
any explanations ???
Are we all redheads??
it has something to do with the seattle bedlam society.
It is a new High Society Club??
I think that someone's messing with us.
Perhaps this is a CIA plot...
You all have been selected by our race because or your special computer software skills and abilities
It's a conspiracy
It is Greatly Annoying.
I'm not certain how all of you got on our little football pool
CAN you all please STOP sending mail to the whole alias????
I can't resist--I have to add.
please do not announce your membership to the alias.
we are wasting many people's time!
Please stop replying all or emailing Bedlam DL 3.
PLEASE - no reply all.
Please, let's all stop sending messages on this alias
Would everyone please stop replying to all on this thread
I suggest that we all stop replying to this alias.
lets don't blast back with reply alls
hummm we all seem to be thinking the same thing.
exclude my name please
Exlude my name too, please!!!
It is unnecessarily cluttering inboxes of everyone on the alias.
I do not know why I am on it of what it is.
It's forced me to learn how to use the Inbox Assistant to auto-delete.
I guess I've joined the club too.... are there dues?
I'm shocked at the incompetence of all those how have sent silly responses to the list.
Please spam me when I'm done with this mail. I deserve it.
My mom doesn't know what the Bedlam DL3 alias is for.
I'm thinking of having a party at the Speakeasy for all members of the "Bedlam" alias.
How come we're Bedlam 3? Aren't we good enough to be Bedlam 1?
"Bedlam" relates to insanity
"Stop the insanity"

PLEASE, NOBODY SEND ANY MORE MAIL TO THIS ALIAS. EVER.

Reply to All.

We had a similar thing happen earlier this year, where everyone got invited to some meeting accidentally. At Amazon we also had one where there was an email list that had every Seattle employee named something like "US2 Conf Rooms"; they were trying to book a conference room as a resource and got that email list by mistake. After the storm was over someone got bored and took statistics, breaking up the replies into different buckets, and also tracking the number of replies by job level (there were a few very high people who replied all).

Found Castle in the Sky on Veoh.
I downloaded the Veoh video downloader from the actual Veoh site and it had obvious malware with it- PC Preformer.
