I Just Got CC'ed

My brother-in-law is planting a church up in the Williamsville area of Buffalo call theWell. He sends out periodic e-mails to friends and family. He does this for a couple reasons: one, to keep everyone informed... two, to get feedback and opinions on different ideas along the way. I got one today asking for opinions on a piece he's putting together. I was looking it over and realized I was on the "Cc:" list not the "To:" list. This bothered me.

"Cc:" to me means "you're not the one this e-mail was really intended for, but I want you to be able to see what the big boys are doing." It got me wondering if I needed to purchase the VIP or Platinum plan to be upgraded to the "To:" list, and that would buy me the right to give my input.

So, I replied to my brother-in-law (which I thought might get me in trouble because I was replying from the "Cc:" list). I gave him my opinion and asked what it took to get on the "To:" list. He asked me a few more detailed questions about the piece and said if I answered them he'd upgrade me. Easy enough. How do you feel about being on the "Cc:" list? Did I overreact?
