Indeed, eh? I suggest we revisit that to send questions to analytics-internal but if others disagree, I am fine with either.
my 2 cents: I prefer the public list as the conversation can be relevant to my team (Research) as well. At the moment, if I see something is not of immediate interest to me, I mute the thread. That's quite easy/cheap on my end. If the frequency of this kind of question on the list increases significantly, I'd suggest adding a tag to the subject line that allows people to filter appropriately.
