'Replyallcalypse'... yep, it happened

We've all been victim of an impulsive "reply all" at least once. Just be thankful your fast fingers didn't inundate 40,000 inboxes. Because that's just what one NYU student did, causing a virtual 'replyallcalypse.' So maybe that's a rare instance, but it is important to avoid hitting "reply all" to every single email you receive. Be sure the people copied on your response actually need to be kept in the loop. Are they key stakeholders for a project or main points of contact? If not, take it easy on the "reply all." No one wants an overly cluttered inbox.
