BCC PSA

I just found this on Stumbleupon.

First, the golden rule of sending an email to more than, say, 15 people at one time.
Don't Do It. Seriously. Don't.

Now, if you must, here's how you can do it and still maintain the friendship and respect of the one who sent you here:

After you have selected the throngs of names to which you'll be forwarding the video of the cat playing Chopsticks, you'll probably have a very long list of names in the 'To' field of your email program. Complete the following steps:

• Using your mouse, hightlight all of the names and email addresses appearing in the 'To' field.
• Right-click (or Ctrl+click, if you're using a Mac) on the list of names and email addresses, choose 'Cut' from the menu that appears.
• Right-click (or Ctrl+click) on the empty field next to the letters 'BCC' (case may vary), choose 'Paste'.

Commence sending your message.

Just so you all know, I'm not posting this because I am trying to send a message to anyone. I just found it, and thought it might be a good Public Service Announcement, and a break from the lolcats. ;)

But I'll add an amusing pic to this post anyway, just for good measure.
