You got it backwards again.  When you're answering a question from the
list, reply on list.  If you're responding to something only one
person is interested in, as you did, respond in private email only.
The Netiquette RFC covers this (you *have* read it, right?).

His other points are directly valid here as well:  Most languages are
read chronologically, with the end of the text being the most recent
event.  English is no exception.  Top posting violates this and
severely hinders flow and sets up a stumbling block for clarity and
understanding.  Please learn to quote properly.
