Because the culture is to prefer private replies when public replies are
not necessary.  Plus it provides a small level of insurance against
really private replies going out in public.

"In many ways, it's a dull language, borrowing solid old concepts from
many other languages & styles:  boring syntax, unsurprising semantics,
few automatic coercions, etc etc.  But that's one of the things I like
about it."  --Tim Peters on Python, 16 Sep 1993
