This is also the commonly accepted practice on some of the high-traffic UNIX
lists as well, like Sun-managers. The standard is to put something like
SUMMARY: (question or problem), and then aggregate this responses. This also
helps future generations, as it makes the solutions to that problem easily
google-able.

Juan,
I think people provide private replies for a variety of reasons.
To me, once you've solved the question you originally posted, it is nice to
post a summary back to the list (and I have seen you do this, Juan). In that
you can summarize some ideas that people provided you privately.

Thank you to all who answered.
I want to insist the problem is not to get some private emails,
neither everyone should be forced to post to all the list, what I'm
telling is the fact, that posting privately is becoming "the rule",
when more than 50% of the answers one receives are private answers,
and not posted to the list.
I had received privately post from very recognized person in this
list, on not ot-topics that should be post to every one because are
very useful. And honestly I don't perceive there are too many post in
this list to justify to post privately.
I'm not trying to tell "Every one has to post to everyone", neither
forcing to post to everyone when someone don't wants to do it.
What I'm telling is before posting privately think if wouldn't be
better to post to all the list, because finally this is a discussion
forum, not a private question&answers forum service :).
Have a nice day.
