Night of 1000 emails

Entertaining to say the least! I thoroughly enjoyed reading through a lot of those emails and seeing tons of familiar names. I laughed at the justification "Well, I'm graduating soon and I wanted to do this at least once.. so I'm hitting reply all"

Participant here, though this whole thing is doing a fine job of keeping me from finishing up work that so desperately needs to be done haha

How did it stop? Did everyone simultaneously just stop caring? I have to assume that some administrator has intervened to stop it.

This happened a few weeks ago to people in the residence halls. Some asshole decided to hit reply all on a spam emailing list.

I must admit.  I participated.  And I still have work to do.  Why did Craig James have to kill 5 hookers while at SMU?

My personal favorite were the jabs at Kozan and Stefon Diggs.

I've been sitting in the Duderstadt with some friends as we watch the hundreds of emails roll in. This seems to happen fairly often (like once or twice a semester to a large group of students). But unlike the other ones This one was pretty funny. As opposed to when it happened to the people living in university housing earlier this year and everyone was just complaining a lot.
But seriously.
Does any know how to post videos
...
To Facebook?

Someone said something along the lines of "I hear they're even selling Michigan jerseys in Ohio now" or however that meme goes. I laughed

This stuff still happens? Some things never change.

I never thought I'd be saying this but I actually wish I was getting those spam emails!

They are going out to only seniors?

This would have been awesome with telnet, like I had.

Yeah... This is the first time this has happened to me since I lived in Markley. That's a plus, I guess.

I never had that experience while in school. I would have enjoyed those emails.

At work somebody accidentally hit reply all though and then many people responded by hitting reply all to tell people not to reply all. It got so bad I think the CEO or her admin had to send an email.

There were a ton of mgoblog references in the email fiasco last night: Diggs, Kozan, Hoke, Ohio, tremendous.

Also, the amount of students that were drinking yesterday made me feel better about myself as well.

This is the first time it has happened since freshman year for me--it's really screwing up my new Umich gmail. It collapsed everything into 50 conversations, so its easy to delete, but it slows gmail down to a crawl, making it difficult to delete them all. Luckily they didn't blow up my phone.

Between reading through these and the tournament starting later, I'm getting nothing done at work today.

Glad I didn't have my inbox firebombed, but concerned that I'm graduating but not on the graduating seniors email list...

That was the greatest stalker tool of all time.  I don't remember the exact command.  I believe all you had to do was type "Finger [Uniqname]" and it told you if the person was logged in, where they were logged in, and/or where they were last logged into the system.
