Why do you say that? I agree with it because when I say something to you, I might not be able to deny it but I might be able to put a spin on it. I would not want to put anything in black and white for certain items as much as possible since I don't want others to be able to dredge it up.

More later but I just had to bribe an assistant to delete a message from someones computer.

You're screwed.

I haven't, but someone at my work posted an email asking to find a brick layer for their chimney. A friend of theirs responded with "if you can lay pipe, why not brick?"
I didn't really get it...but he tried to delete it 84 times! We ALL got 84 failed deletion messages! Hahaha. Consequently, he was out of the office the next day

Nope, it's gone done and overwith.

With email it's easy to tell someone to f--- off or tell them how incompetent they are. In my case I was telling them how screwed up one of their employees was and after I sent it I was told that they were a relative of the manager.

It would have been ugly.

^^^Thanks all...............I had a lengthy post about the situation but if the wrong person were to read it it may grow to be something much bigger....which I don't need right now.

Heres my technique for firing off angry emails, requires 2 targets.

If you know anything about the SMTP protocol, you know that its very easy to fake the FROM address of an email, especially if the from address you want to use belongs to the same domain as an account you have access to. Send one email from idiot #1 to #2, and one from #2 to #1. Sit back and watch the fireworks.

LMAO, that would be a hoot.

In the days before spam I used to send bogus email to friends just to hear about their reaction. Once I sent a note to a friend at a defense contractor from "Boris@kgb.russia.gov". Somehow someone in security saw it and got quite upset...
