Power and Whim: Twins of Tyranny
I recently sent out a blitz (providing information on the Microsoft anti-trust issue) to most of the freshman class. Unfortunately, I did not know about the "suppress recipient list" option, nor did I know it would be needed. As a result, nearly every freshman received a mailing list of the entire class. A few freshmen decided it would be fun to "respond to all recipients" and start a blitzwar -- and then blame it on me, as if I had orchestrated the whole thing! Then more innocent students, receiving mounds of unsolicited e-mail, responded to everyone with the typical "take me off the list" message, further adding to the chaos.
