Depending on what an employee does it can end up being a conflict of interest. The example I gave of ebay employees starting their own auction site is that sort of example. A lawyer representing both sides in a case would be another. I don't think any decent lawyer would do this sort of thing. This only applies if the job is that sort of thing. If someone is a janitor then janitor'ing somewhere else won't matter that much. It won't adversely effect their janitor'ing. > > I have this list filtered into a seperate box, so I do like it if > > people CC me, there are so many messages that I might miss otherwise > > miss a reply. > > There are headers you can set that most reasonable MUAs will respect > that will effect this for you automatically (search for Mail-Followup-To) Cool thanks, will do. Btw when I reply to you I end up with my mail being to debian-user and no CC to you, is that because of this header? If so does this mean I don't have to worry about sending CCs to people who don't want them? Bijan
