Lotsa people seem to think that asking for replies via mail instead of 
posting is just laziness on the askers part.  

Doesn't it make more sense, and save some net bandwidth, to send your 
replies via email, then the original poster can discover the best or most 
correct answer and summarize in a followup posting?

Replying to a post is just as easy as following up via the net, it 
really doesn't take that much more effort.  Who are the lazy ones, 
the ones who ask for email replies, or those that would rather post?
