What we have become.  From the Business section of  The Economist   17 Oct 2024  entitled
 “The reply-all email thread”.

Derek Smith: Someone has taken my mug again. This is the third time this month. Please return it immediately. Derek
Natalie Flank: What does it look like? Natalie
Mark van Deen: Round with a small curved handle?! Mark
Tim Tandy: Sounds like someone I know! T
Tim Tandy: Tim Tandy would like to recall this message
Tim Tandy: Sorry about that everyone. Was meant to be a private message. Tim
Derek Smith: It’s red and has my name on it. I know you all think this is funny but it’s my property and I’d like it back. Derek
Natalie Flank: Where did you last see it? Natalie
Derek Smith: It was in the cupboard in the kitchen.
Megan Gutfreund: Why don’t you keep it on your desk, Derek? It’s much less likely to be taken from there. Megan.
Derek Smith: Because I don’t expect to have to keep everything by me at all times in case it gets stolen. This isn’t Tegucigalpa. It’s Bracknell. D
Sam Kernel: Where is Tepucigalga?
Will Adams: Tegucigalpa. It’s in Honduras.
Mark van Deen: It’s the capital of Honduras. Tegucigalpa.
Iris Lee: I don’t know why you are accusing your colleagues of stealing. Someone has picked it up by accident. It’s in a cupboard full of mugs.
Alex Arkle: If anyone would like to opt out of this fascinating conversation in order to do some work, there is an option to mute it. Just go to the “More” symbol at the top of the page, click on it and you should see it. Alex
Ava Mayer: Honduras.
Tim Tandy: Tim Tandy would like to recall this message
Sumayah Habib: I’m glad you know the difference between a mug and milk, Megan. What about your arse and your elbow?
Derek Smith: Panic over. I found it. Sorry, everyone! D
Megan Gutfreund: Idiot.
Derek Smith: Megan, I have no idea what I have done to deserve that. The level of rudeness you have just shown is completely inappropriate. This is not New York. It’s Berkshire.
