I'd like to point out that I sent my message to Mr. Fenton privately, as I know this whole discussion is way beyond tiresome for this list. As Mr. Fenton decided to post it publicly, I can only surmise he has a keen desire for the last word on this subject, which I am more than happy to give him.
Not to open up this can of worms again, but I feel I ought to point out that the list's default reply-to behavior makes it very, very easy to accidentally reply privately instead of posting to the list. David might well have believed that you *intended* to sent that message to the list, instead of to his private inbox, and therefore an on-list reply would be appropriate. This happens all the time.
If you *really* want to make a private, offlist reply, it's probably a good idea to put "OFFLIST" in the subject header.
