DEAR ABBY: A few months ago I joined a small church. It had a sign-up sheet for people to bring food to an event. The information requested included my name and email address. The person in charge of the church email added me to the announcements list, and sent every email as a cc instead of a blind copy. Now people I never gave my email address to (and would not have given it to) are replying "all," sending messages to everyone and emailing me directly. It bothers me that they do this. I'm not sure how to approach them about this problem. I guess the rest don't have issues with it, but I do. -- E-PEEVED IN OKLAHOMA
DEAR E-PEEVED: You have two choices: Go through the hassle of changing your email address and notifying your friends and family -- or simply hit "delete" when one of those emails pops up. I vote for the latter. As you stated, it's a small church.
