- Our policy is to make sure we inform each person who gets a computer account
- that mail to everyone is to be avoided unless something is wrong with the
- systems such that it would affect everyone. What happens in practice is that if
- people send mail to everyone, they usually get enough messages to the effect
- that "I don't care about what you just said. Keep it to yourself and take me
- off your distribution list." that the sender quickly realizes that a behavior
- change is in order.
