Twitter has the concept of the twitter canoe - an exchange you sometimes find yourself in the middle of, where conspiracy theorists and Trumpist wingnuts launch into impassioned debates around you, while you sit there, grateful there's at least something in your mentions for once.

Ordinary email has its equivalent to the Twitter canoe: the to-all chain, which is punctuated by [[thx]], people addressing their colleagues as @andy and the whole dismal experience snowballs when participants begin to throw unsuspecting co-workers into the canoe — and under the bus — without warning.

How — just how — will adding Chip, Bob and Chuck to this tedious diatribe make things better, for them, for you, or for any of the legions of other poor saps stuck in this purgatorial conversation with you?
