That ‘Reply To All’ business has gotten way out of hand. Lots of people have asked nicely and not so nicely to stop filling up everybody’s inboxes with this junk. Even management had gotten involved yet members continue to use that feature regardless of how everybody else feels about it. In my book that is ignorant and disrespectful but the offenders don’t seem to care.
A lot of these back and forth messages involve issues between certain members that they decided to broadcast to the rest of the people on their buddy lists or crew members. Or how about the latest one that discusses a certain members behind. If I had not read the messages about the latter with my own eyes, I would not have believed it. Let me give you my opinion: she does not have a butt worth talking about. I could go on and on with examples but I’m sure you got my drift.
I look at the ages on some of the profiles and I must say I don’t think I have ever been your age. I am too old for this Kindergarten stuff.
One of the Mods suggested that we flag these ‘Reply To All’ messages as ‘Spam’. That would be a good idea provided no poor Mod has to review every single one of the flagged ‘Spam’ messages. It would create a administrative nightmare and I am not going to contribute to any Mod’s work load.
So what am I going to do? Kicking butt and taking names, that’s what. I am going to track these useless messages and if it involves one of my buddies, poof, he or she is gone. If it requires me leaving certain crews, so be it. This action, I am sure, will solve the problem for me and you will never hear another peeps out of me about this subject again.

I've
only had it happen a few times but I found myself opening up the stuff because maybe there was something interested only to find a “one liner” of that was really a reply to the original writer. Cheez – I’m on dial-up people, it takes 10 minutes to open that one e-mail & I’m missing all the fun in the blogs – LOL. Hopefully some listen to you.

I"ve gotten very good
at “select all” “delete” without even reading them. I work on a computer so I am used to people who don’t understand basic email manners

Here is what my
solution is going to be. Whatever member forwarded that crap on to me will be blocked. Maybe then I can get their attention.
