I swear, sometimes I just could smack some people! Basic computer skills are more than what is needed to handle email.....please people, learn to hit reply and not reply all.........and DO NOT SEND POSTS TO YOUR ENTIRE ADDRESS BOOK. Yesterday I received an email...the cc list was HUGE, and included the Danbury Mint, some magazines, plus nearly everyone on this list. The email was signed by Gene Workman, who apparently hit the "Reply All" button on his computer while replying to something received from Helen Franklin. Without blaming anyone, I do wish to state that when people send emails, they should not send to their entire address books...and when replying, please don't hit the "reply all" button. Most of us who got that email are now receiving spam mail that's unbelievable. The really ridiculous thing is that the discussion about Helen's judging ended weeks ago................... and now, due to the email from Mr. Workman, has started all over again. If you MUST be weeks behind in replying to your email, please send your responses to the original author, and not to everyone else.....this little fiasco included a virus, too..........so the initial PITA has been magnified..............
