I believe that BCC can actually act as an active suppressor of reply-all storms even after they've started. i.e., reply-all to the storm in progress, but BCC the big list. Each person who would send a reply-all does it in response to SOME message. If it happens to be your BCC, their message doesn't perpetuate the storm. The BCCs would act as a kind of neutron absorber to dampen runaway reactions. Or like a trap-neuter-release program for cats.
