I think suggesting to people to answer on-list rather than privately
would be the better approach. If I get a reply from a list sent to me
privately, I assume that the person who sends me this mail does not want
his opinion to be public. In fact, I know a lot of lists were forwarding
private mails is considered to be rude.

That's all just my personal opinion though, of course.
