Email diarrhea

meetingboy:

(n) the act of replying to a ten or more emails in a five minute period without answering or clarifying anything.

Examples:

  • I’m having trouble opening the attachment. Please resend.
  • I’m not sure what this question is about. Can you send me some background?
  • The 2010 numbers aren’t ready yet. Check back in a week.
  • I’m not sure.

I believe even helpful emails can constitute email diarrhea. Sometimes you need to get it out.
