my mail gets filtered, so if someone replies to one of my posts, the
direct reply goes straight to my inbox. the rest gets stored for when
i have time. so, i want people to cc me. i delete the one in my inbox,
and there is still a copy in the other folder for putting into my
archive of this list i've been keeping since may of '98.
i think my posts have always been cc'd?? anyway, richard adams
does it, so it must be right. ;) im just kidding, if it is wrong, i will
stop. but you did ask why we cc, so i told you why i would prefer
a cc.
seesee ya. #you made a star wars reference, so i get one free pun.
