[Lnc-business] cc'ing the LNC email list causes extra work for me

[Tim Hagan]

The simple solution is to BCC the LNC Business list if you want to 
inform the LNC about a correspondence with a party member.

I received 234 spam messages to my LP e-mail address last week plus 11 
already this morning; all arriving in the Inbox and none to the Junk 
folder. How many more would I receive from spam sent to a wide open 
Business list?
