Giving the topic a brief instant of contemplating, I thought maybe the rules were unclear or ambiguous, so I went up and checked. Truthfully, I was surprised by how coherent they were regarding the 'addressing only one member' concept.
Then I looked again and saw there is indeed an element of confusion there.

If your thread and / or post are relevant to only one member, use the Private Message system to contact them instead. Threads and / or posts directed solely to one member are considered spam, and will be dealt with in the same manner as spam.

The first part makes it clear that it is only posts that are
relevant to one person that should be kept off the Forum. Then later it says that posts
directed at one person are spam. While your post was directed at me, it was relevant to all who read this thread. So the upshot of all this is that (hopefully) we've begun to clear up that little matter.
