there are worse things, too.
I recently reconnected with an old friend of mine, via FB (thanks FB). I visited her in Texas. Her husband, a very nice and charming man in his late 60s, put me on his email distribution list. He forwards me jokes that are funny and tasty, yet...
he puts the email addresses in CC or TO!!!!!!!!!!!! Not BCC. Have I given him permission to reveal my email address to his friends and contacts whom I do not know? Has he even asked me for such a permission?
I do remember such CC or TO (but not BCC) emails being popular in the 1990s, but it is now 2013.
