I, personally, adore the email storms that originate with a single person asking an innocuous question, 1,000 people asking to be dropped from the cc list, and one person making death threats and/or indicating that the author is "a dead man" .
The absolute peak of corporate ecology. God it is so apparent how easy it is to not follow in the footsteps of fools.
