Still, if someone is picky about *not* being cc'ed, I'd consider it polite to at least do his/her part and express this wish with the headers in use for this purpose. At least *before* scolding others <:*) Well, I am picky about not being cc'ed. I have tried to be polite. I have asked tomas, who thinks I should do something in my headers, how to do it. He tells me I can't. So now I feel free to "scold others". The CoC says not to send cc's unless specifically requested. It is not a lot to ask that people should follow the CoC. And I shall start following the CoC and complaining, off list, every time, to everyone who cc's me. Perhaps then they will stop this pain of a practice. It is perfectly reasonable that people should be asked to do one of three things: 1) subscribe or 2) read the archives or 3) request a copy. Lisi
