Hi George,

Isn’t removing ‘the offender’ a bit harsh? Presumably all she did was to set an 
email rule to send an out of office each time a message was received, rather 
than using the out of office feature of the email program which only sends a 
message once to each recipient.  I’ve often done the same if I’ve been away for 
a long period of time, though granted I don’t subscribe to lists from my work 
address.

Surely a more commensurate reaction would have been to manually put her on 
vacation and send a friendly warning to the subscribe address.  While the 
accumulation of messages was certainly more than annoying, the mistake was only 
made once and wasn’t, as far as I could see, a repeat offence.

I find off topic messages more annoying than an innocent mistake.

Cheers,

Ed
