I sent an email
reminding a group of people
about a loved one’s birthday.
One of those people
responded
and added the loved one
to the email thread.

If you add someone
to an existing conversation,
either start a new conversation
or erase the history of that conversation.
And normally, you would announce
that person is joining the conversation,
saying something like
“adding X to this email distribution list.”
The exception is
when you need your boss
to see something.
That Cover Your A$$ move
usually means BCCing them.
Anyone in business
knows a boss can be BCCed
at any time.
Outside of business
and outside of the
boss-employee relationship,
BCCing someone is
a shady sh*thead move.
Think before adding people
to existing conversations.
