rather unbelievable timing, this
This morning i received an email from a colleague ('Sandra') of mine with a link to the b3ta phallic logo awards. It was sent to a few addresses around the local office. I didn't regard it with any weight, especially as i'd seen it already.

Then another, apologising for the mistaken email. And adding 'Please delete' (in retrospect rather optimistically).

At that point I realised that Sandra had tried to send the email to a few friends, but her email client had auto-completed one of the addresses into the name of a company suggestion-box (ideas@) discusion-group, which included all directors, managers and many more (inc. me!).

Cue mucho pisstakingo whilst she panickadly asked the IT guys to delete the emails from the various accounts before they were downloaded by the recipients.

Sandra hasn't yet told me whose name she was attempting to type when the ideas@ address autocompleted. Doesn't matter really - pffffft!!!
