It is just the nature of email lists like T13. It takes time to make
sure your reply is going to the right address (back to the list, not
back to the list, etc). Many people using email are completely
clueless about how the To:, cc: and bcc: options of email work. Many
people are using stupid email software that doesn't even show these
options or allow access to these options.

I don't know how many years I had to deal with people using email
software that used the Sender: field as the reply address - something
that RFC822 said "DO NOT DO THIS" - thankfully most of that old email
software has been retired.

So... unless people take the time to see where their message is
going, until people get and understand their email software, until
people get email software that works right, and maybe most of all, if
you are on a list like T13... you need to put up with a certain
amount of the same question or comment poping up now and then. Its
life folks - get used to it!

BTW: I frequently ask people to reply privately because there is no
need for the larger T13 community  to see product specific
information (like "where can you buy product X?").
