Reply all stupidity

Today at work There was a message that was mistakenly send to a mailing list with over 6000 people. Some people started to reply all to the message wondering why it was sent to them. After a while a whole bunch of people starting sending messages saying.
1) Take me off this thread.
2) Stop replying all
3) We got the message, stop replying all.
4) There are over 6000 people on this list, stop using reply all.

All these messages were send using reply all.

Essentially it got to the point where all these people were sending messages to each other to stop sending messages to each other.

No one was sending any real messages to the thread.

I can't believe the stupidity of all these people.
