Caution and discretion are good. However, if someone asks a question in a
public forum, that seems to me to be implied permission to respond publicly
in that same forum.
Contrariwise, if person XYZ privately emails me a question about subject
ABC, I would not go to the ABC mailing list / newsgroup / ... and say
"Hey everyone, XYZ asked this question: '...'".
Cheers.
