I get plenty of private mail so I don't know what happened to Brent's.

Sorry. This was intended to be a private email to Evan. (In hindsight, it appears that Evan's email mapped back to the list.)
I think it has to do with the fact that emails sent to the list retain the "from:" of the original sender but have a "reply-to:" to the mailing list. So it depends on the UI used for emails, but it's pretty easy to hit "reply" to an email from the mailing list and think you're making a private reply when it actually sends the email to the mailing list. I think I may have done that myself... ;)
