Point 
3.1.3 of RFC 1855 (Netiquette Guidelines), 1995 [1] :

"- Send mail when 
an answer to a question is for one person 
only.
  Remember that News has global 
distribution and the whole world
  probably is 
NOT interested in a personal response.  However, 
don't
  hesitate to post when something will be 
of general interest to the
  Newsgroup 
participants."

Just replace "News" with Mailing List, and "mail" with 
personal mail, as
this was crafted for long gone Usenet. But it's the same 
thing.

Also of interest, and in the same line, is the "Me Too" advice 
just above
this one. :)
