Okay,

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<person [...] who's>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Okay, <person who's not even on LJ>, you can't make it to the Saturday evening showing of 'Bebop', and I can't make the times you're available. That's fine.

So why the frell are you now spamming me with e-mails co-ordinating your friends' own trip to the movie, so that I'm getting cc'ed with every reply and bit of off-topic banter? You know I'm not available, most of them haven't seen me in so long they don't even know what I look like, so where's the logic? Where's the sense?

I mean, it'd be one thing if this wasn't the most I'd heard from this particular clique in, oh, a year...no, that's not true. It'd still be spam.

Sigh. Yeah.

Of course, once Certain People vanish to the far side of the planet, we pretty much won't see any of the people on that list again. For most of them, I suppose, it's not *much* of a loss. We hardly see them anyway.

Oh well, regarding the folks who'll still be around after the Certain People emigrate, look on the bright side: we'll forget all about them soon, and have more space in our brains for song lyrics! Or, you know, information about actual *friends* you're going to make.

Have you been reading the LizardbLog? I confess that I keep forgetting the URL...

I commiserate with you

guh... I hate it when E-mails to many addresses go bad in that way... And particularly when one person uses one version of my E-mail address and another person uses a different one so I get the same message multiple times. This is second only to annoying people who respond and hold personal conversations on a group mailing list when they have nothing to do with the mailing list, and people who send "funny E-mail! You'll laugh so hard you choke!" forwards to mailing lists dedicated to planning an event. Grrr.

*shudder* My Dad's a big forwarder of "funny e-mail". Have you noticed that the more it's praised in the subject line, the less funny it actually is?
