Silver Sisters and Reply All



Barb and her pickleball partner played in their first big tournament.  They played in the 4.5 level and lost in the finals to a team that she thought should be in the 5.0 level.

She sent out a photo of herself and her partner to all of her friends in Ottawa (both her pickleball friends and other friends).  Then her friends started congratulating her by sending emails back.  But they kept using the “Reply All” function.  So their congratulations were going to all the people in Barb’s original list.

Then one of the men on her list who was in the same tournament “Replied All” saying he had also won a medal.  Then people started to reply all to his email to all of Barb’s friends.  Barb was furious with all of these people using the “Reply All” feature without thinking about who they were replying to.
