I recall that one of the first pieces of sagely wisdom that I received regarding mail was “if you are in Cc:, your a** is grass“. In spite of reading at umpteen places that the Cc: list is just a “for your information” only place and folks in Cc: are not expected to be the “A” part of RACI, it ain’t really so. Stunning is the arrogance of folks who put others in Cc: and then shoot a mail to world and its aunty stating that the Cc: list was an “A” and not an “I”.

In short, it is not a good start to a day.
