5 YEARS AGO
This is how I discovered who my sister was speaking to, flirting with and dating. She never gave a thought about all the multiple addresses she sent along with her emails to me.  Finally.....I felt so guilty, I being older and all........I told her, that not only I knew who she was speaking to etc, but so did her former and current lovers and friends  etc.  I've recently warned my mother of this practice also........not because of any  former lovers but for mere privacy matters.

Yes I always use the bcc when forwarding emails. Then again, I don't forward that many...

Yes ~
And it only took me 45 minutes, which is something of a personal record for me.

You're right about the innocence part...I think a lot of people don't realize that the option is there.  For example, on my email program the BCC is not on the default form, you have to ask for it.

GROUP DUMPS

WOW! Thank you for bringing up my 1# email pet peve! I know that it's an innocent thing 99% of the time. But it still pisses me off to be part of a Group Dump on the net, because it's such a privacy invasion. I mean they do have a choice!!! - L.D.

mysteria, I'm all for smashing a collegiate party

Mysteria, I never thought of this.
It's an excellent suggestion. On the other hand, I rarely forward an email to a huge group of people, esp if that email says that if I don't forward it to 10 people in the next  5 minutes a curse will fall on me. And if I DO forward it, angels will come and bring me chocolate ice cream or some bs like that.
