It’s hilarious when you get more and more strident responses, each one sent Reply All, which generates their own response from more and more people.
Then the comedians step up with more replies.
The only solution I’ve ever found is to stop email delivery and delete all queued messages, but that’s getting harder the more we rely on external providers, fortunately they tend to get flagged as spam.
I work in a place where I’m in nearly the last group to work on a project, which are usually 9 months to 15 months long, and we don’t know who in our group will be working on a specific project until a step or two before it gets to us. Some managers loop in all groups when they start planning a project
I usually filter those straight to trash and get a talking to for not being in the loop 6 months later. Luckily its a 1 in 8 chance that I’ll be on that project.
Please remove me from this thread.

Had somebody give instructions on how to set outlook to ignore further replies… in the form of poetry.
Excellent!
