plonqA well-meaning but stupid person in one of our branch offices sent out a petition to everybody in the company this morning. It is one of those "sign this and the government will change its policies" petitions that has no effect other than to fill in-boxes and clog up mail servers.

Things like this tend to bring them out of the woodwork. People have been giving their "Reply to All" buttons a workout this morning, quoting the message in its (rather lengthy) entirety so that they can say, "Please remove my name from your email list. Tks"

...and there's another.
