Different mailing lists have different cultures.  Some consider it polite to
only respond privately -- the original poster is then expected to summarize
responses; others do not.  The R-help posting guide does not seem to take a
position on this, so, um, I have a somewhat negative reaction to your
deciding peremptorily for the list what the policy is.
