Just for the record, I'd like to note that:

1. Aur sent me a message privately.

2. Since I found the reply of value to a mailing list and since I hate a lot 
of handling such private email, I emailed him back asking for permission to 
CC my reply here.

3. He said it's OK.

4. I posted my reply.

5. He replied to me in private (by accident) with the top-posted, laconic and 
off-tangent reply, that only addressed one of my arguments. After talking 
with him on IM, I found out that he wanted to address each point one by one 
and started a discussion.

However, that was not the proper way to do it. 

-------------------

Now I have a policy against people writing me in private as replies to my 
mailing lists' posts. From now on, most of them will end up in my ham folder 
unreplied. (You have been warned).

If you have any comments regarding my original posting to this list (= the 
reply to Aur's mail) please do. Otherwise, let's stop this useless discussion 
about Netiquette.

Regards,

	Shlomi Fish
