[ale] Reply to ALE messages

[Vaidhy Mayilrangam]

Actually, the other way is the default behaviour.. This is a mailing list..
if you ask something here, then it is highly probable that someone else 
also has the same question and the reply should go to the list..

if you want to send a private message to somebody, then you can still do it..
but taking a public topic off to private discussions is not the right way to 
approach it..

It defeats the entire purpose of having a mailing list..

just my $0.02..
