I apologize for, what may have appeared to be a short, snide response. 
One of of those days when I was quite busy, but still trying to get a 
point across.

As a reinforcement to retaining addresses in the archives, I've sent 
private email to three different people I located in archives regarding 
different issues just this past week.  I received responses from all.  I 
don't always get my answers from the posts, but I often do by pursuing 
further information via the private email to the poster.

This to me, is terribly powerful and most definitely too valuable to lose.
