If someone else is cc'ed in then people feel pressure to reply as they aren't just ignoring one person, there's a whole other person expecting a reply. Even if that person is someone they've never met, or know of.
- dsirijus 14y agoI don't think that alone can account for doubling the response rate.
- Michiel 14y agoWhy not?
- dsirijus 14y agoBecause in most of those mails it was mission critical that I receive the response. The process grinds to a halt if I don't receive response, irregardless of anyone and anything else. Both Alex and I were tied to the same process and action. The priority of it is unchanged.
- csallen 14y agoThis doesn't mean that recipients can't feel additional pressure to respond due to the presence of another party.

- dsirijus 14y agoYes and no to that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless
