"Where's your head at?"

"Please be aware that when you just hit reply to respond to an email from someone in travelingJET it is sent to the entire listserve. It would be better to copy and paste the email of the person you wish to contact rather than just hitting reply. Thank you, (name withheld)."

Don't you just love when you get emails like this on a listserve? Granted, the e-mail being referenced was rather irritating and its author should be told how to better utilize the listserve... but in responding to everyone as this person has (above) he (I arbitrarily chose 'he') has commited the very sin he warns people against. Wouldn't it be better to just email that person individually rather than subject hundreds of peoples' inboxes to more of the same?

I know someone who really loves crap use of listserves... Whiteley, are you reading this?
