The "TO", "CC" and "BCC" in Emails and When to Reply

-
These three appear to be so dynamic acronyms to many and often are missunderstood in communications. The EMAIL provides us with 3 options that is; To, CC and BCC. This means you can;
1) To - Write messages to individual contacts - Put the email address here if it is for their attention and action. 
2) Cc: (Carbon Copy) - Write to a group (Open) -  Put the email address(es) here if you are sending a copy for their information (and you want everyone to explicitly see this). 
3) Bcc: (Blind Carbon Copy) - Broadcast the Message (Privacy) -  Put the email address here if you are sending them a Copy and you do not want the other recipients to see that you sent it to this contact. 
If you select to write to a group of contacts, all messages are shared to all members in the contact list including the full list of participants of the chat that is; the "To" and "CC" Everyone else sees the email address of all other contacts on list as added by the original sender.
"BCC" is like a radio broadcast, you can not tell who is listening to the same channel you're tuned to meaning that contact information are not shared. While you will still send the same message to everyone on the list, each individual contact on the list does not see if someone else got the same message as well.
BCC in emails takes care of privacy, so that the email address of each recipient of the email is not shared in each individual email.
When you send an email, you can use both CC and BCC in the same message.
But when you are to respond;
To - When the mail is addressed to you, you MUST respond by all means to the email.
CC - Its not a must that you must respond to the mail when you are in the "cc" otherwise its just "FYI" type of mail
BCC - If you to respond, make sure you avoid the "Reply all" option by all means, your response should specific to the sender.

a God given talent - SMOKING WEED

God gave each one of us a talent that some have failed to utilize, but instead you keep misusing your life in the names of having talent. We know you can one day force and perfect a skill to look like a talent but don’t lie us that you’re talented especially these frogs behind our hill who smoke weed and burn the hill every evening in the names of been rasta chicken, rasta goat, rasta money, rasta pig and even rasta house  etc etc – just be careful, the names are their specialties of life. Watch out for your chickens, pigs, goat’s money and keep your doors properly locked. In my neighborhood for the past 30 years, boys now men have been learning how to sing. Every evening the climb the hill for rehearsals, they carry a pot of fire after 30 minutes you will really see the whole hill on fire. As been children those days, I didn’t know that a hill can burn until these boy-men started their music career behind our house. One day I saw the smoke coming from the hill, I ran to the mark...

After writing about the Sagara! Reborn , I thought I could have made writing my hubby. Man this shoe is hard to fit. I enjoy reading people's crispy posts which tickles like a thunderstorm, I wonder how they make money from writing. When am sweating hard thinking of what to write, someone somewhere is thinking smart like a smart phone. One day they gave me a terrible experience just as I thought my hustles with Job hunting are over, in my desperacy to get a job after campus and have my own life the way I want. The unbelievable happened, a beautiful well dressed smart lady appeared, this was like a heavenly sent opportunity. She came walking straight to me, as I sip my ice cold coca cola at Sab Restaurant. I know you all remember Sab Restaurant, that spot in Kampala where all wedding meetings take place. It's hard to understand some of the meetings but you could join any and have a free drink at the end. My heart was all unsettled until this lady said "Hi" walai ...
