CC:BJ And Make America's Internet Safer

We at CC:BJ For A More American Inbox would like to welcome you to our blog. We will get to more formal introductions later as the contributors see fit but for now we'll just let you know who we are and what we do.

This all began a week ago when Ben sent one of those cute links to a funny story that he had found in the vast wasteland that is the Internet. In doing so, he didn't want to be hassled by emailing each person individually so instead, he utilized the CC: function that comes standard with most email hosts. This one email was spread to the 3 others of us in one shot. Once I read the email I had a witty retort that I wanted everyone to be able to receive. So instead of copying and pasting individual emails I decided to hit Reply All. It hit everyone like a ton of bricks. The Reply All button was used soley as a means of reply and from there the crux of this blog was born.

Over the course of a few hours we each Replied All about 100 times. The only downside was that BJ had not yet checked his email. Once this fact was realized we began to CC:BJ on just about anything we could think of just trying to fill up his inbox. In doing this we came up with a brilliant idea. Maybe just by Carbon Copying BJ we could raise awareness for things and make America's Internet a better, safer, place. Every time you read this blog you are now helping raise awareness for things.

So on behalf of Ben, Aaron, BJ, Shadd, and hopefully Caleb, we welcome you.
