Actually, I think that in this case, the person probably *intended* to 
press "Reply to All". After all, if person A could send their 
candle-lighting email to the whole company, then why shouldn't person B 
feel that hir response is any less legitimate to send to everyone?

I suppose the solution here is to get a seriously overpowered email server, 
one that can handle each user sending an email to all users, every five 
minutes. Ouch!
