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.

again I think you are taking the intended message a little too far.
