Ok, now that I've got some free time, here is the stupid event that took place.
Someone in my company, somewhere, had a broken fax machine. Had no clue where to ask for assistance, so they sent an email out. To EVERYONE in the bank.
As if that wasn't bad enough, people began replying to it, over and over, using the "Reply to All" key, and this one simple email ending up clogging everyone's inbox with almost 80 replies.
and I have to copy and paste them all here, because you will not believe the stupidity you will see. I am posting them in the order they arrived, so you can see how people continued to go on and on, despite being asked to stop.
Names will be "xed" out. Keep in mind, these replies came from all different people....now, let's begin at the beginning.....
