This is a well understood practice on the net that goes back at least a
decade.  The oft-stated reason is that it's desirable to move many topics
off the net where they may be more candidly discussed.  Having done so, there
is ordinarily at least some expectation of privacy, for if a writer knew that
said email would be posted, he or she would probably be far less candid, which
in most cases is not what is desired.

This is not to say that JGD hasn't posted (obviously) private email before,
but if you're going to gripe about somebody's net.practices, you shouldn't
sin while complaining...
