[Woodcarver] EMail Address Mining

[Marcia Berkall]

There's another possibility here.
I think that people who join these lists really enjoy making so many new 
contacts.  Some people don't have access, other than these lists, to other 
carvers with whom to share their love of carving.  As more contacts are 
made, more addresses are added to their address books.  People get excited 
about things and may, in complete innocence, decide to share something with 
all of his/her new "friends".  I am reasonably sure that this recipe was 
sent out with just such a benevolent intent......just an effort to share a 
fun seasonal experience with the people he has met and chats with.  Bill is 
an active participant on the "list" and in our woodcarver chats.  If he had 
just sent it to the list he might have been flamed for sending 
non-carving-related material.  IMHO he was probably right to send it 
privately.  People on the list have all different levels of computer 
knowledge....many are not aware of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) 
function:  If you are sending something to a group of people, instead of 
clicking on "to", click on "BCC".  The will send the email to everyone on 
your list, but will not show any of the email address on the email itself.

So much for my 2cents!
