Re: [chairs] Problems with pranksters on TC calls

[Valerie Fenwick <valerie.fenwick@oracle.com>]

Many of us that call into these meetings are not on MS platforms, though.

Like I noted earlier, sending the dialin information out via bcc
seems to keep this problem in check.

we send via bcc, because when we did otherwise, offlist discussions
started, as people did reply-to-all, and we want discussions archived.
