It's easy to be gracious. If what you have to say is fundamentally positive, 
say it in public (to the entire list). If what you have to say is 
fundamentally negative, say it privately, just to the photographer, without 
embarrassing him or her in front of the entire LUG.

All email programs give you the ability to reply just to the originator of 
an email message, though, admittedly, Microsoft email programs make it much 
more difficult.
