[governance] CORRECTION: List Posting Rules: Unsolicited CCing is SPAM [was Stop CCing me]

Thu Aug 20 04:01:17 EDT 2009

Dear All

My earlier email refers (CCd only to involved parties).

I apologise for wrongly attributing to Eric emails CCd to me, whereas I was
referring to Joe Baptista. In the email I did in fact email the list AND
(and only) Joe, BUT in the body of the email errouneously referred to Eric
and thereafter the name stuck in my mind and I repeated the error. I do
apologise to Eric for any inconvenience caused.

I am conveyed that to Eric in a reply to an email from him on that subject.

I would however like to refer to my earlier email below and include a point
5 that reads as follows:

5. Using the "Reply to All" function, therefore emailing a former poster's
personally CC'd recipients shall equally contitute an act of unsilicited
emailing, i.e., spam. Put differently, if a member of the list decides to CC
any of his acquaintances, that does not entitle another member to include
those members in his/ her reply/ comment/ reaction.

Please read points 1 to 4 below (taking into account that the name Eric in
fact refers to Joe:

Jeffrey and Eric

Apologies to others, but this is pertinent as we are now engaged in the
exercise of redefining list participation rules.

1. I am a subscriber to the list, therefore there is no need to CC me or any
other subscriber.
2. Email that is sent unsolicited is the primary criterion of what
constitutes spam. Sending spam is against the current rules (and the
proposed new rules). You are therefore in breach of the rules. The recipient
informing the sender that the mail is unwelcome merely constitutes an
aggraving factor.
3. Any one is free to further disseminate list debates/ discussions to
external interested parties by means of CC/ BCC/ FWD whenever one has reason
to believe that the recipient(s) will welcome receiving such posting(s).
4. Depending on applicability, anyone resorting to CCing when that person's
posting rights have been suspended is guilty of contravening the suspension.

In view of the above, I am asking you one last time - STOP CCing me.

I trust that the above is in order.

Rui
