Yeah, but I might have only interjected to say something stupid, or something irrelevant to the current fiber. When I decide who to copy on a list, I go down the list and check only people that I think will be interested. The default is NO COPY, and you only get copied if I have a specific reason for thinking you will be interested. I think that a generic message advising everyone of the same strategy would do the job.
