perils of instant communication...

Commiserations to a colleague at work who sent a message complaining that she liked chocolate too much to all her colleagues worldwide whilst experimenting with the messenger function - she thought it had just gone to her workstation. Shades of Bridget Jones...

I also have sympathy for another colleague who re-sent me (and who knows how many others) a meeting reminder from several months earlier whilst trying to print out some messages.
...even experts are not immune!

I remember heading about some marital discord caused when wives received e-reminders from florists mentioning bouquets from last year - but the husbands hadn't sent the flowers to their spouses.

Some e-mails have also sparked controversy, spreading globally within hours. Boasting about sexual exploits is unwise on such an insecure medium.
