I have made the mistake in the past of replying to the person when I meant to reply to the group.
Yes, that can happen. Assuming that everyone sending a private answer to you made the same mistake is not valid, though.
My initial post os addressed to the entire group. Subsequent discussion of that problem should be public, so that others can benefit from the suggestions offered.
Then add a disclaimer to (all of) your post(s) that you do not want private answers and will ignore them.
This is not a place for private conversations. Private conversations have a potential for abuse. I have no interest in private discussion. ALL of my replies that go beyond mere friendly acknowledgement are and will be public.
See above. Then ignore them. Or, if you want to make comments on the answer to the public, remove all references to the original author. Or send the answer to him and request him to forward it to the list. Citing (fully quoted) private email in a public forum is a no-go....
