Note: Please do not include MY NAME OR MY Email ADDRESS in any public
mass-emailings if you are NOT using BLIND COURTESY COPIES. If you don't
know what this means, or need to learn:

Do you know that when you mass email using TO or CC instead of BCC you
are publishing private data of others to everyone you email to?

Here are some good explanations and "How To" pages about Blind Courtesy Copy:

_email_addresses_im_sending_to_on_a_message.html>

<http://www.walker.public.lib.ga.us/tutorial/cc_bcc.htm>

Aside from the obvious Net etiquette courtesies of not publishing
private information of others, there is of course the possibility of a
law suit as you most likely do not have the written permission to be
publishing this private data.
