I appreciate your sentiment towards me. I really do. Here is the answer
to your question, Cotty. Few points:
1. Not once and not twice I would send a message to someone off the list
and they would not have received it timely and properly. So it is worth
my and the other guy's while to post an additional message on the list,
knowing that the mail system of the list is relatively reliable.
2. I don't like the idea of someone talking to me in public (on the
list) and me suddenly going quiet. It does happen from time to time, but
when I am aware of it, I'd rather bow out or finish off the conversation
in a proper manner, especially if the discussion is somewhat heated.
IMO, this is one of the acceptable ways to indicate that the public
conversation is over.
3. Finally, it is a bit of hint or a clue to the readers (no offense, no
particular finger pointing here) that perchance the discussion is too
heated and it can be taken off list for further cooling off.
I honestly don't understand the meaning of your "I just went for a crap"
post, which you can either explain or not either on list or off it, but
methinks you were not answering me directly, so it surely should not
bother me all that much. I would appreciate the answer nevertheless
merely for sake of learning a bit of English here, as likely it has some
humorous content that I don't grok.
I hope I answered your question.

Boris, I love you dearly man, but what is the point of this?
It's like me posting that I just went for a crap.
