Hmm, I might send a public message and want a private reply (or at least, not be surprised if I got a private reply). For instance, if I was asking questions about some potentially embarrassing subject (have you ever broken the law, violated the debian code of conduct, ...) I would be surprised if anybody replied in the affirmative on a public mail list.
