So, I said this on facebook...

Saw this on a blog I read.. posting it. No reason. No reason at all.. just a post. No one read anything into this at all. It doesnt pertain to anyone I know. It's just a post... ====== SORTA – Stamp Out Reply to All. Reply to All is Neanderthal. I got this one from Tim Sanders. Tim says Replying to All is a sure sign that you are over 30. It’s a terrible habit. Tim points to research that shows that only 10% of reply to all message are used properly. My experience shows this is true. Research shows that upwards of 2% of the bandwidth checks written every month by companies across the world are spent on poorly used Reply to All messages. That is pathetic. If you are replying to someone to say “Thanks” or “awesome” or “great news” or “way to go” or something like that, do not use Reply All…ever. Please. If there are 6 people on an email and only 3 need a reply, take off the other 3. If a reply is addressed to a specific person (especially in the case of emails like “That’s great news Jim, thanks for sharing.”), do not – ever – choose Reply to All. Seriously, I get 5-10 emails every day like this. Two things inevitably happen. First, I get annoyed. Yes, I have a delete button and I know how to use it, but it’s still annoying to have to glance at an utterly irrelevant email. Second, I create a rule to filter out messages with that subject line after a while. Who knows, I might miss a worthwhile email at some point. ====== Once again.. just a post...
