They are not one sided conversations. The discussion was in reply to a question that I asked on the list. IMHO it is proper to continue posting to the list. In fact the undesired behavior is to take a list discussion private. Questions that are asked that relate to the general topic of the list should stay there. Most often if there is a question by one subscriber then others on the list would have the same or similar questions. keeping the discussion on the list gives all subscribers benefit of the answer, etc.
However if the reply one is giving is one that is an ad hominem matter then the reply should not have been made in he first place, It is not an issue of whether it belongs on the list or not. So your beef is with the folks who choose not to answer a list post on the list, not with the people who keep posts where they belong. Thanks...
