email volley

When you have a back-and-forth email "conversation" with someone, and each of you keeps adding to the quoted thread with new information. The email go back and forth like a long-lasting volly during a volleyball game.

echo emails

When you receive copies of emails that you previously received because those people who were cc'd on the original sends them to you thinking you never received the first one.
Very annoying as it needlessly floods your inbox.
Damn, I have 49 emails in my inbox but luckily it looks like many of them are simply echo emails.

Dude, please stop with those echo emails, I recieved them already.

email courage

1. The uncanny ability to act tough and hard nosed while composing an email and then not have the backbone (balls) to do anything about the subject matter while in person or in a meeting.

2. Sending cc emails to anyone in order to prove a point, asking idiotic questions with poor grammar, Exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!
