Why BrilloPad should never be allowed near a computer

[thunderlizard]

I understand why people do it, but I feel there's something rude about sending invitations by the bcc method. It gives the impression that you don't trust your guests with each others' contact details (perhaps true in your case), or that you think they wouldn't come if they know who else was coming. So, in my book you accidentally did right, and that's why nobody complained.

JUst sent out invites to my leaving drinks. I sent it to my personal address and meant to bcc the rest. Alas I cced!

So far no-one has complained - but its only time. One contact is a pimp now - guess he will be rubbing his hands with glee.

What is the best way of killing myself?

Next time ask me

Give me enough sponsorship (see my .sig) and I will hand over the contents of my address book gleened over 25 years.

I have the morals of a pimp.....

Cheers for that - I feel alot better.

Not one person has commented let alone complained!

The email said I was doing drink and cakes!

I think now I might get Mrs BP to do some of her 'special' cakes. Though I dont have the main ingredient at the moment.

On the plus side at least donations have now reached £165 which is brilliant news!

Is this a real charity or another internet fantasist looking to swindle people out of their money? That chasing the Aurora guy was an attention seeker wasn't he!

It is a real charity. I have permission from my parish priest and the diocese is aware. If anyone wants to PM me I will send contact details so it can be checked out.

Yep, but you always get the numpties that reply to all.

Got invite to mate's 40th. At the bottom she'd written "Please do not reply to all". I still got 17 further emails from people who obviously couldn't cope with simple instructions, including one that said "Apologies for my last email - I didn't intend to reply all"
