It’s Official …
… I’m a Moron. 
You know that classic CLM* where you’re replying to an email with some smart-ass comment, intending it for a single person you trust, but instead you hit “reply-all” and send it to the whole company? Yeah - I did that, this week.
I put my own special sauce on the standard entree, though. In a panic, I sent out an apology to everyone. Then I checked my inbox. There was a message from the email system stating that (for technical reasons I won’t go into) the email system blocked my first reply, the one I was worried about. But it happily sent out my apology - which included the original email and my smart-ass comment - to everyone.
Nothing bad appears to have happened, other than having my techie-street-cred cut in half for being such a bone-head. I received a handful of emails from people saying that they didn’t get the email for which I was apologizing (no one did), but that they agreed with my comment and were glad someone actually said it. I can only hope the VP agrees.

LOL! Oh dude. That is tragic.
You seem to be afflicted with the same foot-in-mouth disease that I have.
