Its a nice comfortable evening and i was just chilling when a mail triggered me off. I am member of this yahoo group called
Films for Freedom and it so happened a couple of days back some girl accidently sent a join join Hi 5 invite to the group. This is because hi5 do the cunning thing
of asking for your mail account password while creating an account and
then use that to extract your contacts and then mail all of them. I mean
that sucks by itself and is a gross intrusion of privacy considering
they can do other stuff with my password, but wait the story does not end yet..
So the girl lets call her “some-blah” sends a mail which reads
Mail 1:
Hi
Had posted a mail to this group from another website by mistake.
Due apologies.
Regards
some-blah
This is ok just a small mistake, so didnt worry me much, then something that irritates the hell out of me happened. Some random guy lets call
him “lone-idiot” mails the group which reads…
Mail 2:
hey some-blah,
repeat this mistakes ten times,
b’cos each time u do it, new ones like me get it.
keep smiling & keep mailing,
lone-idiot
Now this ticked me off, i have absoluetely no problems in that dude
hitting on her, infact i find it normal. What i cant digest is the fact that he mailed the whole list with it. Also documentaries are my
holy ground and if anyone messes with the spirit of the place i get really nasty..
So i did a “REPLY ALL”
Mail 3:
Hey lone-idiot,
Sorry, but you sound like a greeting card! are you ?
Mail the list with relevant mails. A mistake i can understand
but mailing the
list with such replies is just spam. And yes i am mailing the list
because i think it conveys
my point across better.
p.s: Read the description for the group.
Cheers,
Shreyas
*phew, i hope he does not reply because i am in mood to rip the guy apart.
