This poster is great in the fact that it is totally true. I fell that when you are about to hit reply all your computer it should come up with a box that says, are you sure that you want to hit this button and send this item to everyone. Or possibly there should be a box that makes you check everyone that you want to reply to. That way you realize that you are about to spam that many peoples mail boxes all at once which makes you question if your point is that important to make. There will still be those people that hit this button no matter what and make you just hit delete after opening or reading it and make you realize that you just wasted some of the time in your day.
I agree with Daniel, the style is great but useless and I don't really agree with them.
#1- This one may hole some truth but it doesn't need to be a sign.
#2- Daniel's link was funny and so is this neither are harassment or involve sleeping with co-workers.
#3- Meh. criminalize coffee for all I care, I have caffeine pills for that.
#4- Reply all is a very useful and important tool, more often than not people benefit from the information and can just delete it if not. Rarely is sensitive information sent and if it is it is your own damn fault.
I am a big fan of the stuff that Demotivational Inc creates, and this is similar to the stuff they create that I enjoy. The sad thing is that the majority of these are things that everyone has seen the unfortunate side effects of that got someone(s) in some serious trouble. Of all the ones shown, I an especially big fan of the "If it's really funny, it's probably harassment" one since there's a little bit of sad commentary in it.
These are some awesome posters! While they may not be worth their price they do have some good messages. It is never a good idea to hit reply all, especially to drama-all emails. In the case of group projects or other smaller projects reply all can be helpful, but typically it's not good. The printing one is another important one for school of drama since there is usually lots of wasted paper in the cluster and photocopier.
I think Daniel raises a good point that most of these (like our entire industry) depend. However, I will say (and this is more based on my personal sense of humor) that the funnier something is, the more likely it is to offend someone. Like this!

I like the style, but really they each depend, except for the "Think Before Printing" one.
"If it's really funny..." Lots of things are funny and not harrasment. Like this.
Criminalize Decaf - Lots of people like the taste of coffee, but don't want the caffeine. I drink decaf coffee after dinner sometimes.
Nothing good comes from hitting reply all - well, if it's a group project and everybody needs a piece of information, not hitting reply all is bad.
Stop tweeting boring shit - but twitter was created to tweet boring shit.
I'm going to spend my $35 elsewhere.
