Because he did not say "only reasonable offers accepted," he said "I
will reply to ... reasonable offers."

The obvious inference is that unreasonable offers will be ignored.

By replying to unreasonable offers (in a rather unreasonable manner,
IMO) Sr. Vazquez has broken the terms of his original posting.

The memory should be forfeit, and Sr. Vazquez should devote his spare time
to helping the poor instead of surfing the net.

IMHO, of course.
