What context should I have added that I did not?

If you do not want me to reply to something, do not send it to me.

When an e-mail comes in as a reply to a list article,
I do not always notice whether it came
to me directly or through the list.

If the reply is not also sent to the list,
changing the subject to note the fact would be helpful.
If the reply is also sent to the list and you want to ensure that I notice,
noting the fact in the body would be helpful.

I'm not a great believer in subtlety either
