> Plus: what does the "CC" mean?
cc is a throwback to the days we used typewriters -- carbon
paper was used to make two copies at once, the underneath copy
being called a "carbon copy" of the original
the term evolved into the email culture as meaning sending a
2nd copy of the same mail to someone else -- [in american
english at least] the 2nd address field in the email compose
window is labeled "CC"
what david is saying is he can post questions to the list but
doesn't want to be bothered to watch the list for answers, he
wants the answers "carbon copied" to his personal email
address
many denizens of mail lists take offense at such requests and
respond rudely -- how you respond is up to you
