I don't think posting private emails is professional behaviour at all. That said, since it's been put here for everyone to read - it was a polite request that explained the rationale quite well. Given that there is another thread going with people stating that they aren't happy with the way the list is going at the moment, is it unreasonable for Luc-Eric in his role as moderator to write to someone to say "could you ease up a bit on the volume of posts?"
