Hello Jeffrey,
Yes, we also have this issue. I am constantly deleting distribution groups when replying to all. It goes hand in hand with my original response to too many emails. The inbox is then bottlenecked with information and can be overwhelming for some. I feel that emails can be a great way to communicate but if abused can have the opposite effect. Individuals will not read their emails because their perception is that it is a lot of wasted time reading information that does not pertain to them.
