Despite UNC enrolling some of the best and brightest students in the world, some of us struggle sometimes. I still have questions. How do I pay taxes? What do I do if I fall in the shower and need help getting up? Why are the bees dying? (Seriously, I lose sleep over this).
But if I learned one thing at this school, it's this — hitting reply all to a listserv is the worst thing you can do to your fellow students. The. Worst.
It recently came to my attention that some of you might have questions about how to handle a listserv. I know, it's scary. For the good of my sanity and the human race as a whole, please read the following.
Let’s go over the basics of listserv etiquette.
How to unsubscribe from a listserv
- Scroll to the bottom of the email.
- Click unsubscribe.
- If link is unavailable, light your phone on fire, delete your email address and never look back.
- If said listserv follows you to the ends of the earth, you may email the sender SEPARATELY using copy and paste and asking to be removed from the listserv. Never under any circumstances should you reply to their email.
What to do if you are the person that begins a reply-all-pocalypse.
- Start running.
- Never stop.
How to reply to a listserv
- Don’t.
