  4. Re:asking for trouble on Companies Getting Rid of Reply-all · · Score: 1

    A company that's come close to abolishing Reply All is the global information and measurement firm Nielsen. On its screens, the button is visible but inactive, covered with a fuzzy gray. It can be reactivated with an override function on the keyboard. Chief Information Officer Andrew Cawood explained in a memo to 35,000 employees the reason behind Nielsen's decision: eliminating "bureaucracy and inefficiency."'

    I hope somebody replied to all, quoting this entire memo and putting "OK" at the bottom.

    Ok

    Independent scholars estimate that his military campaigns caused the deaths of 17 million people, amounting to about 5% of the world population.[16] The historian of Islamic Asia John Joseph Saunders summarized that "Till the advent of Hitler, Timur stood forth in history as the supreme example of soulless and unproductive militarism".

    A bit more about Tamerlane AKA Timur? "Unlike his predecessors Timur was also a devout Muslim and referred to himself as the Sword of Islam."

    What is particularly heartbreaking are those divorces that start off amicable, but become vindictive once a lawyer gets involved.
