I'll reply if someone bothers to email me, of course you know that. I'd only email if I hadn't seen anything of them on here or something like that.

You'd be less antisocial here if you *did* send email. After all, I'd hardly be publishing my email address in every post I made if I had major objections to receiving email in response to a Usenet post. Which, if you think about it, is hardly `out of the blue', is it?

Traditional Netiquette demands that `in the forum' one should stick more or less to the topic; and if off-topic stuff turns up, it `ought' to go elsewhere. And personal matters should always be taken to email (assuming a technical forum). That's traditional netiquette. People seem not to care about being rude these days.
