While
I wouldn't want this to become a humour list, I saw the email and laughed and
figured the same thing Laura figured, that Outlook autofill bit the guy (which
is funny all by itself because we have all seen it happen if not had it happen
to ourselves) and then I moved on. I find all of the additional attention even
more humourous including the value judgements of the quality of the joke and
analysis of words.
I
classify the message as OT with the droves of other messages that come through
the list that are OT[1] and being sent here because of a tenous relationship of
being about technologies that utlitize AD[2] though the question itself has
nothing to do with AD or simply folks forgoing it all and just saying WTF, I'll
give it a shot and ask you guys because you seem helpful. If you get a whole
day of many of those coming through it is a bit annoying. More annoying, at
least to me, are questions that are ON TOPIC but someone didn't take time to
look at the archives or google and asking like it was the first time it was
asked versus maybe revisitng the previous discussion in new light. However,
unless the list goes moderated which no one wants or at least a vast majority
of the someone's don't want, the list is just the way it is and will be and you
read the messages if you want and blow by them otherwise.
Overall
I would hate to lose the jocularity and casualness of the list. It is one of
the things that make it worth reading. :) There have been quite a few
times subjects have drifted off topic only to expose something in the monkeying
around or what not based on something not everyone understood or knew that we
wouldn't have otherwise found out that immediately snaps it all back on topic
and of great use.

Though this was funnier than most OT stuff.There is my value judgment on the
quality. :)

Versus actually being AD Technology. Examples of tech that utilize AD include
but are not limited to GPOs, DNS, Exchange, print queues, clustering, file
server manipulations (copying files, home drives, management, etc), etc. Not
saying questions about all of those are automatically OT, but we tend to get
quite a few questions in those areas that aren't about AD or the interaction
with AD but about the non-AD aspects of the tech. Examples being a question
about how to do something in a GPO versus say OU strategies for applying GPOs
or the permissions on the GPO objects and how AD interprets them. Or a general
question about DNS like what is returned in a query or how it is managed versus
what records need to be in DNS for AD to work or how its app NC replicates.

I
have a hell of a sense of humor (as I’m sure a lot of geeks here do) this just
isn’t the place for it when people come here for help.

Nah.....it
looks more like the sender mistook this list for some other lists. On other
lists, this would have been a engendered more rapid-fire flame war to the
sender's satisfaction, even though the joke itself is very old and has outlived
its useful shelf life.
I'm sure he's
disappointed that this list is so geeky and full of maroons with no sense of humors.
Sincerely,

Okay, has anybody
considered the possibility that this was an accident? I
know I've accidentally
sent mail to the wrong addresses before by letting
autofill kick in an
not paying attention to what actually got autofilled,
and this seems like a
very strange thing to send to this list intentionally.
