The U.S. Census Bureau says there are about 65.2 million #GenX ers in the United States. Of those, I would guess maybe about one million know how to "reply" instead of #ReplyAll in an #email thread. Can we increase this number? Surely it's not too late for them to learn?

Checking my #GenX #email usage assumptions, please boost! Are you gen X? Do you always reply-all to emails, or do you also know how to "reply"? Leave a reply and let me know if you think you're representative of your cohort or an outlier 👀

@ryanprior This is pretty insulting to GenXers.

@ryanprior #GenX here. This happens to me with the #Boomers on #email threads.

@ryanprior I'm genX and I know no one who intentionally uses reply all. When that happens in business, everyone rolls their eyes and likely stops reading the thread. It is rare and it isn't a genX thing. And in my experience, younger generations know less about tech in general.
