e-mail errors
It's wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with serious consequences.
Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory.
Unfortunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.
At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
Dearest Wife,
Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
PS. Sure is hot down here.

Re: e-mail errors
Me too. I just hope I'll never get that kind of e-mail.

Re: e-mail errors
found a marketing sign which reads: Promoting the concept of recycling printer ink cartridges through out children, to make the world a better, safer, greener place to live in.
I had to wonder if it hurt

Re: e-mail errors
It hurts my pockets. My printer's ink cartridges have to bad habit to finish often.
