New Rule

Company-wide email requests for assistance MUST be preceeded by, at a minimum, a google search with regards to your request. You must determine, before sending your email, whether it is absurd and in particular, whether it requires greater detail/specificity. For example, you cannot send an email to thousands of people you don't know asking, does anyone know of a lawyer in Africa? To clarify, "lawyers" aren't a generic commodity and "Africa" does not have a uniform legal code or mode of judicial implementation. Obviously, if it is just a quiz or survey question you can send it, but I would imagine that is well outside the bounds of approved use for such emails.
