Other adverse consequences depend on the population of list members.

One of them:  we have some who seem to think that CC'ing to all their
friends and BCC'ing the list is somehow clever.  What it does, of course, is
reveal a bunch of addresses to the list members...the owners of the
addresses may be less than pleased.

When I get that kind of implicit destination hold, I reject it with an
explanation.
