A chum of mine sends incessant Spam. Rarely an actual e-mail - but two or three a day come jokes, photos, comic strips, etc. He also has no notion to BCC the 100 or so names on each e-mail.
So this morning - I see a reply from one of the recipients. And it's that reply that I often dream of sending myself - but... can't bring myself to:
"B,
Although I like your twisted humor, please remove my email address from the humor mailing list.
J"
Of course, this Spam was obviously going to J's work address. And J hit reply to everyone.
But - even better - a second reply comes from J,
"J would like to recall the message ... "
So, there was that moment of remorse.
Alas, that recall feature doesn't work as smartly as some would like.
