Reply to all is a huge pet peeve of mine. I do not understand how thinking people ever think it is appropriate for EVERYTHING.

Kudos to you. I always like to tweak the Gamecocks, and you didn’t take the bait! I think pretty much all universities are nuts these days.

I wouldn’t want to work for a company who didn’t like Minions anyway.

Trump was patching things up nicely with the RNC until he accidentally sent this to Rinsed.

That’s a given with any email that’s unencrypted...and probably the encrypted stuff too as the encryption itself is a red flag inviting snooping by third parties.

If you want something confidential, putting it in email isn’t the way to go regardless of who is handling your email servers.

Is this why we have April Fools’ Day?

In the Middle Ages, New Year’s Day was celebrated on 25 March in most European towns. Some writers suggest that April Fools’ originated because those who celebrated on 1 January made fun of those who celebrated on other dates

The Edict of Roussillon was a 1564 edict decreeing that the year would begin on January 1 in France.

Hillary might disagree with you.

Hillary would have been way better off using Gmail instead of whatever Microsoft abortion Bryan Pagliano set up for her.

That's an interesting one, might make a good standalone GGG topic!
