I certainly don't think that was the point... I believe it was the fact
that it has happened quite often and that it is unneccessary to cc the
entire list every time this happens. There is a big difference between
warning someone of "lack of security clue" and notifying the entire
list. The last few auto responders I have seen simply turned into a
shark like feeding frenzy on the individual that turned the auto
responder on... there has been no benefit to the list in the discussions
that occur. I believe they are only trying to decrease the amount of
noise on the list.
