I remember that! It was fun to add a line in the middle of a group
email (that ended up way too long) such as, "If you got this far come to
my desk for a free coke". A few minutes later Stuart (and only Stuart)
would arrive at my desk demanding payment.

Tom would sometimes send long notes, and occasionally put something in

first (or only) person to respond to whatever he stuck there. So Tom:
the recent "Where's Waldo?" pictures I have seen have him standing
pretty much by himself, with anyone else socially distanced from him.
And quit looking at ibm-main on weekends.

Wait - is bottom-posting a thing? I've always assumed that
bottom-posters are just careless; they read down to a certain point,
and then type in their responses without thinking about where. Are
you saying that some people post at the bottom ON PURPOSE?!
But it gets to be a mess after just a few posts, unless people take
the time to do some weeding, like you did with the bottom section.
Most people don't take that time.
Yes!
Why, for heaven's sake?
You quote just the part you’re responding to, and then give your
response. That way it’s unambiguous just what your response refers
to. There’s no need to try scrolling through a long thread to figure
out what set off the email.
I'll just type something here and see if anyone can find it.
Where's Waldo?
Isn't it Saturday? Why am I looking at ibm-main?
