About 20 years ago I worked for a large company that was a major corporate sponsor of the San Antonio spurs and the Lakers were playing the Spurs in the championship series.
In the weekly corporate e-mail communication, there was a little blurb at the end that said something like GO SPURS!
Someone logged onto a computer in my machine shop using a general mechanic group log-in, and replied to all users (25,000 of them) in really big red font, F*uk the Spurs, go Lakers!
There were hundreds of replies to that e-mail and almost all of them were reply to all users. IT cut it off after about a half hour or there would have been more.
Needless to say my phone was ringing off the hook.
Folks at the top were pissed and were looking to fire someone.
To make a long story longer, no one ever got fired but I took a lot of heat over it.
No one ever fessed up to it, we couldn't prove anything, and that was the end of general group log-in IDs.
