[Fists] Why the stupid CC Notice??

CCs are a major headache to list owners.  Here is why.

Person A is a member of lists X, Y, and Z and posts to list X with CC to
lists Y and Z.

Persons B, C, D, E and F all reply to Person A's message on list X, but
person B isn't a member of list Y so his email bounces there, person C isn't
a member of of list X where the post was originally, but he is a member of
list Y where he saw the post, he bounces with lists X and Z, but also CCs
another list, List W.

I'll leave it to you to figure the rest of the mess involved with CCs and
mail lists.

"If it is good enough to send, it is good enough to send to EACH list
separately."

Sending CC's may delay your post. If you feel that your post needs to go to
more than one destination please send them separately.



Why do all of the FIST posts have the annoying CC notice RIGHT AT THE TOP!!!
What's wrong with CC's anyway? I subscribe to 13 other lists and nobody
complains about CC's from any of them!
