Please remove me from this thread.

I work in a place where I'm in nearly the last group to work on a project, which are usually 9 months to 15 months long, and we don't know who in our group will be working on a specific project until a step or two before it gets to us. Some managers loop in all groups when they start planning a project
I usually filter those straight to trash and get a talking to for not being in the loop 6 months later. Luckily its a 1 in 8 chance that I'll be on that project.

This happened recently with some crazy huge distribution list.
Easily 100 replies. About 40 in there were memes like "brace yourself reply all is coming" and "it can't be stopped"
I don't know how they killed it but they did.

This is why you have them send it to themselves and BCC everyone else.

Or .. you send an Excel spreadsheet attachment with your wholesale pricing to every .. single .. IT company in a city with over 2 million people and double down with an updated version when someone points out that using the To: field is probably not the best way to start your new business .. that immediately folded the next day when those same IT companies, now armed with everyone's email address in a single convenient discussion thread, started discussing matters at hand .. and related issues.
Source: I received that email and the rebuke and the subsequent discussion.

And this is precisely why you set up Approved Senders on Exchange distribution lists.

“And then they switched from the Dustbuster phaser to the compact phaser, and I kept my Dustbuster because it easier to hold, and I kept the power cells for the Dustbuster…”
lets be honest here, the dustbuster was probably pretty heavy. I mean, the amount of energy they held is ridiculous and nobody actually needed that much power in a hand-held weapon.
(for example, in that episode where they're trying to evacuate an illegal colony before some assholes pyroform it for their own use; data blows up a dam. From miles away. that kind of firepower is just not needed.)
