I wouldn't worry about it too much, that you followed up with an
apology speaks volumes and I suspect many of us have been bitten by
similar things on networking sites, I know I have.

That said, remind me not to book on a flight you're on; of all the
lists to do that on you probably picked the worst :-D That kind of
luck is best avoided!

Have a good Easter

And if nothing else had happened for another day you probably would
have just discarded it and never given it another thought, right?  I
mean we have all seen random junk that just isn't worth our time to
look at further.

A good example of "The Streisand Effect" in operation.  By trying to
suppress it he called attention to it effecting the opposite of what
he really desired.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

The lesson for all of us is that when information escapes that it
cannot be suppressed.  The act of suppressing it calls attention to it
making it more prominent.  If that is unwanted then the better course
of action is to say nothing.

Yes.  Too funny.

When I worked for an independent cell phone store, we received an e-mail
from one of our carrier reps (a employee of the carrier who was our liason
to the carrier). He sent a message to all the stores he 'represented'. The
e-mail had a pretty vague subject ("numbers" or something), and the body
of the message was vague, like "Here's the latest" with an attached Excel
spreadsheet. I almost deleted it until he not only 'recalled' it, but sent
a message saying to delete the original message. The spreadsheet? It
contained sales data for ALL his stores - number of employees, $ amount of
sales, # of sales, revenue, etc. He obviously intended to send this to his
boss, but sent it to all of his sales stores.

Quite funny. The "recall" didn't work.

That's a Microsoft Exchange feature, and it's not really email, since
it's not transported or accessed by email protocols.

Sometimes you can.  In the past it was considerably more possible, but 
vandals resulted in the feature being removed from a lot of stuff.

In some versions of Outlook you can recall a message, and if it hasn't been 
read already, it will be deleted from the recipient's inbox.  I believe it 
will be deleted if it is still sittong on an Exchange server.  Of course, 
that only works in some versions of Outlook.  In others the recipient gets 
the recall message, as you note.

It used to be possible to send a delete to a usenet newsgroup to try to kill 
a message previously sent, and it would be deleted from the servers.  Didn't 
help if someone had already read it, and didn't help if the delete arrived 
before the message.  Most usenet servers I believe have long since ignored 
delete requests after some kid started spam-bopming newsgroups with delete 
requests for every message in the ng.

So yea, most of the time you can't.  But sometimes you can.  It mostly 
results in confusion when it works because some people see the message and 
the guy in the next cube doesn't, and wonders why he was singled out to not 
get the company-wide payroll suspension announcement.

No you can't.  I can't tell if by the smiley you are really joking or
not but I will assume your humor is dry and you were really joking.
But you were too subtle in that case.  So many people think that they
can "recall" messages and of course that doesn't work even on the
system it was designed to work on!

When I get a recall message from someone I routinely forward their
message back to them along with a note asking why they wanted to have
a copy if their message sent back to them just to drive home the point
that it doesn't work.

That's from ASF.

It's better to whitelist messages from an antispam list given the 
nature of the discussion.

The score was 7.1.

Yea, if SA list is going to allow spam they should  lose their whitelist
