The Bcc

So recently, I believe I have been the victim of a bcc.  Let's think about the bcc.

So when you used to pass notes in class it would've been great if you could've photocopied (some of) them and handed them out as flyers, if you are coming form my day and age.  But when you didn't have that, you would just have to RETELL in your "own words" what was said and recounted which we all know of course is basically a Kindergartner's game of telephone wearing high heels.  At the end of  the day ,whatever your note said basically becomes the opposite of what you meant it to say plus a hundred other of idiotic misconceptions.

But back to the bcc.  There are so many things I have to say about this.  Man,  Okay first, when realizing what a bcc was.   Wow. That was around the time (which was one nanosecond) that faxes were useful.  You would cc someone on a memo, and then I guess you could BCC someone on the same memo.Which is akin, I guess, to saying, hey I am a huge coward.  So while, I want to say all of these things to people and let you in on them , I sure as hell don't want THEM to know I let you in on them God forbid. They might....react. And then I would have to...deal with it.  *faint*


SO the cc is like hey here I wrote you this letter and I want you and these other peeps to have access to it.  Right on.  But the bcc?   So Machiavellian-ly  different by just the change of a letter.  But also so interesting that someone thought to invent it, just as natural as your subject line.  So basically they are saying, of COURSE every one tells people sh*t they are not supposed to. So much so that we have added an extra LINE into the CHOREOGRAPHY of this email.    You know, for ghosts and spirits.

But the best. THE BEST (and this was how I, and anyone with half a brain stem would know they were a victim) is when someone hits "reply all" to the "bcc" and it comes back to you. And you are like...wait why is this person sending me an email about something they know nothing about.....ohhhhhh.....fuck.  The B fucking CC.


Not cool.
