Sarcasm Knows No Bounds

Hello all,

I just have to share an email that I sent to my friend Chrissy, who is studying in Italy right now. She has a listserv account, and I've been a bit spammed by people replying to her emails and therefore sending them to her, me, and everyone else on the listserv. So, I came up with a witty little reply (at least, I think it's witty) to let everyone know they were spamming my account, and got a reply back myself. Check it out.


Quoting tiffany.a.brown@us.army.mil:

> Hello Chrissy. And Aaron. And Cora.

> I'm sorry you got the flu. That bites. I had it too, but had the

> *ahem* I love you all, and I know we all miss Chrissy, but please,
> when you write to her do not just hit the reply button that is

> So, if you'd like to write to me, have at it. If, and this is

> Have a great evening everyone. And no, I'm not angry - just amused. ^_^

*And the reply*

Wanted to send a quick message to you saying you are clearly awesome
and thank you for sparing me the time of coming up with something witty
to write to the listserv pointing out the same mass-send problem.

I just hope this doesn't devolve into the typical inbox-death move
where everyone now replies to your email on the entire listserv saying
like, "Thanks!", "OOohh sorry for sending to the listserv [insert
other comments demonstrating a failing to understand the irony of
sending another message here]" etc.
