The Perils of PR - An Ongoing Saga

Posted by Rupert Goodwins

It would be grossly unfair to name the PR agency which just sent out an email press release to 90 recipients - and CC'd us all, instead of BCCing.

It would then be really quite staggeringly unfeeling of me to immediately do a Reply To All, suggesting that since we're all now friends, why don't we start a Facebook group?

And it would be the very height of mean-spirited nastiness to watch with awe as fully twenty of those 90 names bounce straight away as no longer valid. Indeed, looking at the list I can see people I've been hunting down since 2003 (Steve Malone, where ARE you?).

But here's a helpful hint. Next time, instead of emailing ninety, why not text 100?

Dan Ilett still receives emails to SC Magazine, which he left, oh, three years ago. They go to David Quainton's inbox, and he left SC two years ago. Sigh...
