E-Mail SNAFU
by Volker Weber
This is an example of how someone hitting reply on an e-mail instead of forward can cause problems:

This is priceless -
Read from the bottom up - then after you read the oldest e-mails, notice
how many times and how widely it has been forwarded.
Then do what you think is right!

I have no interest whatsoever in further tarnishing the reputation of the
poor, silly girl who sent the original message and hit 'reply' instead of
'forward'. I am merely sending this to female friends as a potent warning
against email indiscretion:
Scroll down and read bottom to top: From hot singleton to totally
undateable in just 5 days!!!

Scroll down to the bottom and read the last 2 emails in reverse order.
But how dare they compare this with the Chung. No one can defeat Chung. NO
ONE! Miss Mary Callahan didn't have lines even remotely close to "5 women
down, 2 million to go!" This dumb girl just watches too much "Sex in the
City" or something. Ever notice that these Chung and Mary Kings and Queens
all work at the same types of places?
See, inbreeding bad!

Ok first -- here is the e-mail I received from Tripp, the new guy I met last
week. If you want to go out, perhaps we can get him to pay for drinks at Park.
Since we have not slept together, he will of course be trying to impress me
and will, therefore, do anything I ask. Unlike John, who fell asleep during
sex last night. I went over to his place last night around 11:30. We started
having sex. When I noticed his eyes were closed for a little too long, I said
"John wake up." At which, point he shot up saying "what'd I miss." Yes, I
think that is a new low.
Let me know about tonight. I think you need company.
