It's not a pattern in my life. Usually long silences between
inundations.
Once I got a "well done team" in regard to a project I had entirely
done myself. Was tempted to type THERE IS NO "TEAM" IN "I" and
reply to all senders, but forbore it.
A friend of mine was on a software engineering team of one; he was
tempted to send himself memos, boss to team members.
It could be that men deal one-on-one from generic relational
confidence, whereas women "reply all" to avoid the appearance of
indiscretion or to avoid creating a false sense of intimacy for
their interlocutor.
Plausible. We need a grant, possibly an Institute.
