BARFBLOG: Canadian bureaucrats still aren’t that into me - (barfblog)

August 3, 2008 – 7:47 pm

I keep hundreds of bureaucrats occupied.
They just aren’t that into me.
Which is fine.
I know this because I used to play hockey with a bunch of them. Also, I see how many are subscribed to the listservs. And I get a lot of requests, and messages sent in error about some particular e-mail, or hooking up with a co-worker after work.
Seriously, run a listserv that goes to a few hundred thousand people, and someone’s going to hit reply to the wrong address now and then; there’s some bored bureaucrats out there.
