of personal email accounts.\u00c2\u00a0 But there are many dummies that choose to abuse the system,\u00c2\u00a0 it is the culture of my company to send out broadcast email announcing an achievement, it could be a promotion or the birth of a child.\u00c2\u00a0 All this is done in good spirit and may perhaps be a factor in employee retention.\u00c2\u00a0 But there are many email dummies who will reply to all copied in the broadcast, in turn sending everyone their meaningless congratulatory words.\u00c2\u00a0 When these responses should only have been sent to the person who good fortune has fallen upon.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Georgia\">It\u00c2\u00a0annoys me that I have to sit there in my busy day\u00c2\u00a0to read and delete such nonsense not meant for me.\u00c2\u00a0 Soon you get a flood of idiots wanting to jump on the coat tail of someone else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s success.\u00c2\u00a0 Again instead of only sending the email to the one person, they decided to click on reply all and broadcast their meaningless congratulatory message.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 15.6pt\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia\">Being the IT person, email administration is also one of my many skills.\u00c2\u00a0 I was asked by a senior manager\u00c2\u00a0to send out a friendly email to all asking them not to click on reply all to a broadcasted message.\u00c2\u00a0 I did that and\u00c2\u00a0it did not slow down the idiots from doing what they had to do.\u00c2\u00a0 What are you gonna do?\u00c2\u00a0 You can teach a monkey how to type but you cannot teach it to read instructions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 15.6pt\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia\">Next Day : Well here is the continuation from yesterday.\u00c2\u00a0 This morning I sent out instructions on how to reply to a broadcasted email.\u00c2\u00a0 Below is the email and it works, only one moron choose to ignore this email.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 15.6pt\"><span
