If you are sending an email to a group of acquaintances who are not necessarily acquaintances of each other, it is extremely rude to include them all as CC's, because then each of them then has the addresses of everyone you've mailed. Not everyone you know may want to hear from everyone else you know or want their email addresses spread around. Additionally, you may be using a personal address for a friend who may want to keep it just that--personal. I agree with your section on blind copies, but only to a point.
