when is it okay to contact a person privately?  i have had people
contact me to spare me embarrassment and inform me of rules like
 bottom posting, etc.  others have not been so kind.

 It is less a question when it is okay but why is it necessary. I
don't see what is embarrassing about having rules pointed out to you.
Your formatting does make your posts hard to read, by the way.

  depends on if it is done in a condescending manner...  pointing out rules be 
a benefit to other newbies.  other things have been pointed out to me in e-mail 
that would have embarrassed me if posted to the list, when it served no purpose 
to do so.  
  i deliberate format the way i do to make it easier to read, and am open to 
suggestion how to make it better, such as using quotes, or citing who said 
what, etc.
