Fun with email
This is completely inside baseball, but some of America’s beer bloggers are laughing/grimacing over one of those “reply all” email fiascos that began when a small brewery-that-shall-not-be-named sent out a message soliciting reviews of one of its brands.
The brewery forgot to hide the names of the email addresses in the “bcc” field, and recipients responded with various criticisms, taunts and, in one instance, a request for a sample of the bottle. It’s been going on all afternoon, and it forced me to shut down Outlook.
The reason I mention all of this is that the email list contains an incredible 200 separate names of beer bloggers. I can’t believe there so many people out there who drink and write!
(Note to p.r. firms, especially those that can hook these folks up with free samples: The list is available for purchase at $1 per name.)
