I was wondering why folks post that they 'reply privately'.
No criticism, I was just curious why. Actually
was thinking about it from a msg. on another group yesterday
so thought since you replied that way you could 'splain it
to me Judie.

Mostly because I've seen others do so, especially when it seems to
involve things we can't do on usenet as it's "text only"
Next time I will just "reply privately" and keep it to myself as I
should have done.

Thanks Judie. I just was trying to figure out if I was missing
something. Often I do. LOL
I figure you can post anything you like. This is an unmoderated
group and your msg is yours.

The reasons people post "replied privately" is veiled as a
courtesy to the group or to the OP showing that someone has
attempted to help the OP. Another reason is the answer is of
such a personal/sensitive nature that the responder does not
want it posted publicly ? possibly other reasons ...
as i understand that is contrary to the usenet philosophy of
sharing with the community,
others may have a similar problem and find the responses helpful.
