Hooray, google has heard my cries

Google has heard the pleas of the scorned, angry, stupid, drunk, and horny.  They are adding a feature to give time to reconsider an email. http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-in-labs-stop-sending-mail-you-later.html?foo In honor of google's recent announcement, I bring an oldie but a goodie Oopsie!! Accidental Email  Current mood:  ditzy Have you ever gotten an email that completely enraged you?  So much so, you put on your sarcastic biatch hat and draft a reply.  The reply is witty, poignant, and sure to enraged the receiving party.  It's intended to hurt, belittle, or out right offend.  This is the retort we all wish we could come up with on the spot.  It's the perfect reply.  It's so good you have to share it with friends, but not necessarily with the person that sent you the evil email. "Must not draft reply.  Must not draft reply." Of course, we normally save those as drafts and edit them into civility after a cooling down period.  Normally.  Occasionally, for some Freudian reason, we accidentally hit SEND.  Followed quickly and loudly by a string of four letter words reserved for rush hour traffic. "Must not draft reply.  Must not draft reply." That's probably happened to everyone a time or two.  We all want to send the scathing email that points to the short comings and inadequacies of the recipient, but we don't send them.  We revise them, you know, tone them down for public consumption. "Must not draft reply.  Must not draft reply." So, I think that google and all the other email providers should offer an "Are you sure prompt?" I know most people find that to be one of the most annoying aspects of Vista, but I think those of us prone to accidental email would like to have that option. At least I need that option. Or, I guess I could stick to old fashion paper and pen.  I have a journal, but rarely use it.  Or, perhaps, I could keep notepad open for such occasions.   "Must not draft reply.  Must not draft reply." The accidental email might even be worse than drunk dialing.  There is no enduring evidence with a drunk dial.  With email, google will store your words forever. Oppps!
