On the stupidity of Young Geoffey

[ed_rex]

That didn't go so well, did it?

Sometimes Young Geoffrey isn't near as smart as he likes to think he is.

Y'know how those people who send out mass emails — usually jokes or cute pictures of their cats — but can't seem to ever learn what awful netiquette it is to put every address in the "To" field, instead of the "BCc" space?

Exactly. Amateur hour.

Well, last night, I determined to invite a select 'few' to join my mailing list.

Turned out, I've gotten so used to dealing with actual mailing list software, I had completely forgotten that email programs don't work the same way. I made the mistake of putting a Thunderbird "list" name into the To: field. Only to learn that every god damn address showed up in the bright light of day.

To say I was (and am) embarrassed is to put it mildly.

And naturally, my sub-conscious also gave me a helluva hard time last night, in its usual inscrutable and subtle manner.

All right. Time to brave my inbox, and then get to work.
