[ARC5] ARC5 List Treachery - Watch Out!

[Mike Hanz]

You need refresher training in the school of government e-mail, Mike.  
In that school, you first "reply all", then look at the recipients, then 
choose those to whom you actually wish to be a recipient.  Then you add 
those that you would like to be a blind copy, not visible to the 
others.  (These folks should have the same cautionary attitude and 
training that you possess.)  Then - and only then - you begin composing 
your reply.  Retirement has apparently made you lax in these important 
details.... :-D

Those happy days of instant gratification are long gone....
