Email Etiquette - Reply or Reply to ALL - Know the Difference

Now for the rant of the day:

There is a choice of 2 buttons to use when replying to an email.

They are:
1. Reply
2. Reply TO ALL

Reply indicates that you (the sender) is sending a reply to the one person who sent you the email.

REPLY TO ALL indicates that EVERYONE who received the original email will receive your response.

For Pete's sake people, I do not want to know Sally (who I do not know and do not wish to know) in North Dakota's feelings about Uncle Chester's prostate health and cousin Myrtle's new tattoo! Be careful!! In some situations this type of reply can be awkward at best and very bad/embarrassing at the worst.

To be covered at a future date....BCC. Stay Tuned :-p
