Why private responses?

[Tony Jepson]

Whenever I see a request following an inquiry to have replies sent
privately I wonder "why?". Often questions are asked which cause me to
think, "Yes, I would like to know that also." But if responses are sent
privately, then I miss out on them and would have to re-ask the same
question again to get the information.

Am I missing something here? Is there a reason why on-topic responses
cannot simply be posted to the list?
