Inappropriate Use

Dorothy D
I did this very recently...and I can't believe I did it!   I know better...I was on my phone...waiting for a friend in a restaurant...replying to an email from Friend A....about something Friend A and I had both been asking Friend B to do!

I was frustrated...I used all caps...and I hit send.  Immediately I saw that the message had gone to Friend A...but also to Friend B.   Friend B was part of the original email conversation and had gotten included again...even though I thought I had eliminated her from my reply to Friend A.  

I immediately wrote an apology to Friend B.  Asked her to call me the next morning.  She did...she was hurt.  I apologized again, it seems the damage has been repaired, but she was a lot more forgiving than I fear I might have been.

And how many times do I tell the adults with whom I work NOT to reply to a listserv if the reply is meant for just one person!!
