I replied to him by sending the wikipedia link for vestigial limbs. I think it will go over his head though. Morgan for your troubles and how I imagine his face will be when he reads it. He's out of town on a trip anyways so I won't see him until next week.

This is a pet peeve of mine too. I once got the same email from the field engineer, the sales representative, the client engineer, the field coordinator, and the operations manager. And I was on the list of recipients - which included all of them.
I plan on keeping a tally of time I spend deleting emails to keep my inbox under 400MB. Apparently our company, which is a 40 billion dollar company, can't afford more than 400MB per email inbox with data at $50 a terabyte, but they can afford to pay people to delete emails all day at $20 an hour.

Awesome!
One of the old chief engineers at my last company was notorious for that. He would just forward along e-mails without reading. It was not uncommon to have your e-mail in the To line and CC line:
The best ever, though, was I once asked through e-mail to the engine platform group (I worked in the component group). It circled around through people in the group then got sent back to me asking me to answer the question. A part of me died that day.
Gotta love corporate America!

A while back I asked a project manager in one of our offices if he knew anybody in the county road department who could get me a right-of-way map of a particular intersection. However, he did not want to send an email to this county employee asking for this map, that being too much effort, so instead he sent an email to another project manager with the email address of the county contact in it. The second project manager also did not want to go to the trouble of sending an email to the county guy asking for that map, so he forwarded that email with the address to a third project manager. Who in turn, yep, too much work, so project manager #3 fired up his email program and forwarded the county guy's address to me. I emailed the county person and got the map within the hour.
