    Re: Why is it...

    Everybody at my office is too busy getting drunk at this point. There's a tequila tasting party later on today, and a Christmas party on Tuesday that may go the same way. Of course, we're a bunch of scientists, so everything has to be analytical, even the drinking.

    A year or so back, somebody sent a mass mailing to our agency with a private survey. A couple of people used Reply to All instead of Reply, and sent their survey to the entire agency. No less than three of the researchers in the building (including myself), began to independently track which department had the most people using Reply to All. You might consider it a Fool Rate. Eventually, we realized that the others were also tracking this, and it got fairly entertaining.

    Now it's tequila. Somehow, I think that the quality of the analysis will decline over time.
