Netiquette and Large Email Mistakes - The Netiquette IQ Quote of The Day

When I was looking for a quotation about mistakes, almost all of them deal with the positive side, which I believe is a good thing. However, some mistakes go too far and many of these are not necessarily correctable. Others are made when, clearly, the person does know better. When Netiquette mistakes are made, as seen in my previous blog, they can have permanent damage since an email will probably last forever, particularly when it is sent to over 1,000 people.

So leave it to the unforgettable Oscar Wilde to put a mistake like this in perspective!
