A colleague sent me a data file and used a personal email address instead of his work one.. It's kinky...

Posted by ceregon Aug 26 '10, 09:49

Apparently he has nicknamed himself manaconda. He's a pretty mild, married, late 40's maybe 50ish math prof. We aren't really friends, just professional acquaintances. In the email, he asked me to forward it to a couple of other researchers in the area. Do I... (I know what I should do but I'm tempted)

a) pretend like i never got it
b) start a new email and forward from my work account
c) forward it anyway
d) ask him to resend from his work account

While I have two personal email accounts, if I ever used my social one, ceregon, by mistake, it wouldn't be a big deal if I sent an email to a client from it.

Responses:

just forward it,but delete the part that shows his email address. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 10:01

is it a file too big to send through your work mail? - b. Aug 26, 09:57 5
- oh, and if it isn't too big, I'd forward from your work address, in any case. - b. Aug 26, 10:00 1

it's possibly only kinky in your mind. just forward it on as asked. - decline Aug 26, 09:53
do you like him? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 09:51 2
- he seems like a decent guy, not a jerk like a lot of the stanford profs -- nm - ceregon Aug 26, 09:53 1
  - so then do him a favor and verify he is ok with sending it on as is. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 09:54
