I think sometimes we all need to vent.
I'll start.
One thing I can't stand is shitty email thread discipline.
Let's say someone sends an email out, asking a question / status / etc.
I read and respond to the mail, replying all, with a well crafted response that includes additional direction to others on the thread.
Then .... along comes that guy or gal.
They don't respond to my response, they respond to the initial mail. What's really bad is when that person's mail contradicts what I wrote, or causes confusion by being less clear. What's even worse, is, when I added people to the thread in my response, then, that guy or gal adds a different, possibly overlapping, possibly different group.
This is how threads branch, and sometimes, result in a absolute, clusterfucked up, shit storm.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
