SPAM

Do you like to receive spam (unsolicited / unwanted electronic messages)? Do you send spam?

Why does every email program need to have a filter built into it?

Are you the person in your company that copies everyone that you can think of whenever you send an email? What makes you think everyone wants to read your message?

There are "need to know," "nice to know" and "didn't need to know" messages. Email has made it too simple to copy. Perhaps there should be a fee for every "cc."

"Cc" stands for carbon copy. Before email, carbon paper severely limited the amount of copies you could make. If you really pushed hard with the pen, you might be able to get four. Only the four most important people received the memo.

The next time you click a name into the "cc" field, ask yourself this question:

"If I had to lick envelopes and stamps for every person I was copying on this message – would I still send it?"
