I, too, have noticed the shallowing of discussion and can only attribute it to people not wanting to excite/incite some forum members. Before I go to the trouble of sifting and sorting to find the individual's address; I'll leave it alone. That's probably not fair to people who are in the same 'boat' I was in 9 years ago; but that's just the way it is.

I am differentiating between a personal advice and information for general use. (That is burned onto public servers forever) With removing the option of having a choice to whom reply, I am hesitating to give answers on a personal level - it is a hassle to get the personal e-mail address filtered out. I also noticed that the discussions that are held on a forced public level become more shallow, less technical and the forum IMO shifted toward a gray field of mediocrity. I usually found not one day go by without finding a reason to answer. Now I am watching the discussions for days and find no reason to add content. I think any type of restriction in this forum creates a new climate and a new quality of discussions. If the forum decides this is the way to go I will be the last one to stop anyone. I am a free thinking person, I like options and choice. Any type of restriction I realize to be a censorship. But I can live with that - I am used to it.

Most emails provide the option of responding to the sender or everyone. With the change, the only way to respond to only the sender is to copy his email address then initiate a new email, paste the senders email, enter a subject, then type your email. THe old system allowed one to click reply, select to send to the sender or everyone then type the message.
