I prefer the option of replying to an individual. I receive many offlist
questions, and I respect those individuals' need for privacy. If I
believe my answer could be important to others, I sometimes ask the
person if they would mind posting their question to the whole list, so
that I can respond publicly; however, I always add that I will respond
privately if privacy is a concern.

And, I myself occasionally need to ask a question that in my
professional opinion should be kept private. The list has gotten so busy
that I've found I've accidentally deleted messages that I ought to have
responded to. Having the option of replying to an individual makes it
much faster and easier for me.

I still believe we should give this new option time. Every other
listserv I belong to has this individual reply option, and it works very
well in all other instances.

Best regards,
