Ya know, I used to work at EDS. One day, a guy sent a message to a
distribution list rather than to the specific person that they meant to. It
was some sales guy, so immediately, people start sending these angry "don't
spam me, remove me from your list..." messages in reply. The problem is,
they would hit reply all (like I just did) rather than simply reply. As the
messages began to mount up, supposedly really smart EDSers started trying to
educate the ignorant masses of EDSers by replying all to tell them not to
reply all. Of course, their voice was lost in the wilderness of reply all
messages. The result? For two days, the mail servers were constantly
crashing and coming back up only to crash again....
