On the plus side, I never received a "reply all" message from someone not wanting to get any more forwards. So, that's a good thing at least. The episode doesn't still bother me after four years. I don't sit on my couch in the middle of the afternoon and think, "Darn those teachers and their silly forwards!" I actually had forgotten about it until my recent late-night flashback. It just reminded me of my frustration at some teachers who cried out to be taken more seriously as professionals and then sent an electronic greeting of animated ducks (for example).

I'm sorry this still bothers you after four years.
