It’s no wonder America’s standing in the world has slipped. State Department staffers nearly crashed their own e-mail system recently.
How? Everybody kept hitting “reply to all” in response to a blank e-mail inadvertently set out to several hundred people on one mailing. Of course, you can guess all the different ways people then responded to THAT, if you’ve ever been in a similar situation.
In essence, it caused a self-inflicted denial of service attack!
