I'm sorry, if my first post wasn't really clear in that matter. I don't think so. To send CCs is normal on most of the technical lists I'm subscribed to. Actually this doesn't matter to me and I didn't wanted to discuss that issue. These things are decided by the admins and I try to adapt to each list and it's style as good as possible and if I don't like it, I don't subscribe. What I do mind is getting mails in yelling style or threads like if you do this or that I DOS you. And that was the point I meant with style of this list. So I hope I could make myself a little bit more clear. Thanks and all the best Matthias
