I happen to like bcc:

I can send to a large list of recipients
without the annoying huge list showing
up bugging the whole distro. list.

BCC: is a feature of many browsers...
so *obviously* it is up the the listowners
to defeat a bcc: if they don't want them
or the individuals on the list using filtering
techniques besides headers.

As for list members complaining about
getting email... I am always amazed at
people not wanting what they sign up to
get.

Human nature is fickle and sometimes
ignorant.

<sigh>
