Or you're just another person on the net wanting to ask an off-topic
question in tangent to a thread and being polite by taking it off
list. I get between 300 and 500 messages a day, and it's got to be a
bad day for SA to miss more than two spam (zero missed is average).
Like I'm ever going to remember every piece of email I send.

No, public forums are not for private replies to people. If you can't
be bothered to leave an open, accessable channel of communication,
don't interact with people online.
