4:25 - First email sent
6:04 - First "Don't reply to all" email
6:09 - First "Please take me off the list" email
6:41 - First new subject (thread) to get sent out about being taken off the list.
6:42 - Original emailer sends out an apology and begs everyone to stop ending emails. Her pleads are unheard over the sounds of people clicking "reply to all".
6:43 - I send out my first email to everyone:
I swear that if any one else replies to all I will hunt you down on the umich directory and disable every electronic device that you own. I will then convert your keyboard layout to Swahili.
The person who sent out the original email spammed a group that she does not control. SHE CANT TAKE YOU OFF THE MAILING LIST. You have to email the owner Bwallace@umich.edu to be removed. DON'T EMAIL THE ENTIRE GROUP TO BE REMOVED.
Seriously learn some email etiquette.
6:55 - I start individually emailing people who "Reply to All" with this message:
Can you read? You replied to all. You don't deserve to use a computer. What do you have to say for yourself? You better start learning Swahili.
7:13 - Someone sends out an email with the subject "The spam solution!!
7:31 - 100th email about this.
The 100 emails came in over 20 threads with the biggest at 51 emails. About half of the emails were "take me off the list" and the other half was "Don't reply to all!". 63 of the Email's were sent between 6:40 and 7pm.
I think the owner or ITCS finally got smart and shut the group down because it's no longer coming up on the directory which is a relieving end to this Wednesday night saga. No one responded to my demands that they explain their rash emailing actions. I think that means they realized that they are idiots.
