IMHO, I think the private answering originates from flaming the people answering questions, not on this reflector (there aren't any other reflectors like this one) like others, but it is a learned response that makes one wary and carrys across. It makes one not want to answer with a general fix or how to get started and improve later for fear the hard line purist will send a page of criticism that ONLY applies to purists with unlimited funding and the poor fellow asking just got his first radio and wants to know the minumum height of an 80 meter dipole or the number of radials for a vertical because the manual says "it doesn't need any". His reaction to a battle on the reflector, is this what ham radio is like?
> If we make it a rule that all postings MUST be through the list Some reflectors only place the reflector email address in the response bar but one can still glean the actual email address from the message. Ask for it as you did, you can't force it.
