You know how they say sometimes people leave obvious evidence of their misdeeds behind, because they subconsciously want to get caught?
That can be the only possible explanation for the titillating email fail that was recently the talk of the Cornell University campus.
A ‘tech consultant’ at Cornell Business School named John — a married tech consultant it should be pointed out — somehow managed to send an entire email thread to the entire school. Not just any email thread, though… not some boring thread with his boss or weekend plans with a friend.

No, John was carrying on a steamy affair with Lisa, another [married] Cornell employee. And they clearly were very close. And not shy or prudish in discussing their… ehem… closeness. And how much they wanted to be close again.
And that is the thread John sent to the entire school. Click here to read the whole thing, if you’re that nosy and voyeuristic. Because I care about you, dear readers, I read it all. And I promise you, it’s about what you’d expect from a couple of high school juniors. If you gloss over the occasional mentions of children and spouses and mother-in-laws, that is.
It’s hard to imagine how ANYBODY anywhere could possibly manage to accidentally send an email to their entire mailing list. But such a personal exchange, to an entire university? From an IT guy?
He had to want to get caught. By the whole world.
I almost feel bad for the guy.
But not quite.
