Longest Email Exchange with Same Subject Line Discovered

Lawrence, KS - Researchers at the Electronic Communications Foundation believe they have found the longest ever email conversation with the same subject line.

“Did you see SIenfeld last night?” was the subject line of the email from Gayle Hernandez to her then-co-worker Penny Pierson sent on October 4, 1996.

And, except for the “RE:” that was added when Penny wrote her first reply, agreeing that the man hands subplot was indeed maybe too hilarious, the subject line has been the same for almost 12 years for a slew of topics, including “Frasier” is very funny too; setting up a blind date; borrowing a Gypsy Kings CD; first joking but then sincerely wondering if there’s a way to kidnap Vince Vaughn; how eventually giving up on things like kidnapping Vince Vaughn actually demonstrates a certain lack of “go-get” that, if they want to achieve their dreams, they can’t accept lightly; how eating just meat and cheese really fucking sucks; Gayle’s move to Anchorage; how “there’s got to be a better way” to staple something than a stapler; how reality TV is “dumb as hell”; Penny insisting to pay for the at-the-time impoverished Gayle to fly to her wedding; how “The Office” is hilarious; how, if Lisa wins “Top Chef,” Gayle’ll put her kids in the Benz and they’ll personally go hunt her down; and many others.

“And the exchange still goes on,” said Yorn Getz, director of research at the Foundation. “Gayle just sent a reply to Penny a few minutes ago.”
