A Note on Mass Emails
It amazes me how many people still do this: If you are sending out a mass email--e.g. "everyone should read this Forbes piece on Obama's health plan!!"--then please put your 3 dozen recipients' email addresses in the BCC field of your email. That way, people's privacy is more protected, and they are not susceptible to someone hitting Reply All just to say, "Wow thanks for sending that!"
In some cases, to show you care and how special people are, it might make sense to let all the recipients of your email see each other. But if the list is more than a dozen, nobody feels special.

And you risk having a jackass (like myself) send a rant to everybody on how stupid that e-mail was.

basically, if you don't bcc, you are inviting everybody to talk to everybody.
