"Okay, fine!"  BUT ...
For me to send a cc, I go into my address book and make a choice.  I have 
made no such choice as to send copies of [heartandmind] posts to team, tml, 
or tmtranscripts.  Who is doing that?  Why do we have to sing our arias from 
the balconies?  I just wanted to do a little coloratura solo, even a tiny 
Wagnerian dirge, but ... see?  Look up there! I get a post from Thea, I click 
"reply to" -- and I don't even get heartandmind!  I get tmtranscripts!  
    Sorry.  It's too much like work.  (rising anger)

(Acknowledged anger, justified fury.  Blame somebody for the feeling, quick:) 
 What is work here, Thea, is your phrasing: "But you have to quit cc'ing to 
the other lists if you want privacy!!!"  (Like I'm so stupid as to do it on 
purpose and you're laughing at me.)  No.  Why should I have to assume the 
P.A. system is broadcasting to the parking lot?  (Backing down.  I don't like 
to fight.  I don't want to feel bad.)  You KNOW this has pushed a button.  
(I'm going to assume responsibility in a minute.)  It's like it's my fault.  
Okay, fine.  It's my fault.  I assume responsibility for not looking to see 
who all in cyberspace ...  (Now I can look at this more rationally.)  Wait! 
Okay.  Okay, I know what happened.  I was reading a teacher lesson.  That 
would have accounted for why tmtranscript was included.  Okay.  And the 
transcriber/transmitter posted the lesson to tml and to team.   It must have 
been originally sent to heartandmind with copies to tml, team and 
tmtranscripts and me, in my myopia, responded to heartandmind (in my heart 
and mind) and ... whammo.  
    Never mind.  
    I'm exhausted.  I'm going to go watch a movie on the VCR.
