Netiquette says posts in a newsgroup should be answered in a newsgroup.
There is nothing which indicates you need to share your email address.
I do because I choose to. But even munged like it is, it still gets a
lot of spam. I don't check it often as it's only used for usenet stuff.
But I also know a lot of people in various newsgroups who don't share
their email addresses. No one else seems to have a problem with that.
And if you don't want to respond in a newsgroup, that's fine. But don't
criticize someone else for not having a valid email address.

Yes, he may be new. And it looks like he's doing perfectly fine like he is.
Besides - he wasn't the one with the problem. He was responding to
cwhite, who is the one with the problem.
