Someone in my company accidentally sent an e-mail to a group with 50.000 members, asking something trivial. About 1% of the recipients clicked "reply all" to state that they have no idea what this is about or that they are not responsible or that people shouldn't use reply all.
20 minutes and 25 million e-mails later our corporate e-mail servers were really stressed...

:D

Yeah, that's a nice warning that could do with being posted up in most offices.

Along with the obvious advice about the different between CC and BC.  <_<

My garden is performing a subpar level. Lack of sun is the main suspect. Trees will problably get trimmed or the garden will be relocated next year.

That's kind of my problem.  In my back yard there's just too much shade.  If I plant something that does get enough sun, my deer are certain to eat it.  They even ate a Colorado Spruce I planted :angry:

Note to self:  see if there's such a thing as deer traps.

You let hunters hunt on your property.

Not really the best neighborhood for that.

:lol: You'd think that by now there would be some safeguards against sending e-mails to large lists of people.

Yes, there are deer in suburbs.

Well where are they to do? We keep taking up their land and building homes.

It depends how you define 'suburbia'... I live in what I would call a rural area but I live in a subdivision, just one with very large lots.  We have deer in the yard all the time.  This time of year I see them at least once a week.  Also, I think those sonofabitches ate most of the apples off of my Pink Lady tree. :mad:

There is supposedly a black bear lurking near where I live. It gets over the wall, I'm opening up on it with the SKS.
