As a matter of good practice [for all lists], if you CC a list-message 
to a colleague who isn't a list-member, then you are tempting them to 
also reply to the list (which will bounce).

It is much better to FWD such messages individually, so the recipient 
doesn't fall into that trap.

Putting list-members (who are generally easy to identify) on the CC list 
is simply untidy, unnecessary and bad netiquette. Although I wouldn't 
use the word Spam, as that has other connotations.
