I sometimes do that as well, but then again ignoring/deleting is easy.
I wish people would think a little more on whom to Cc. In general
I don't really need a personal Cc for drive by patches - I'll happily
pick them up from the mailing list and actually prefer it that way.
But I have received contrary feedback from people that do want to be
CCed on every little thing.
