Well, I tell you -- when a topic is going well, I prefer to get a 
duplicate, direct copy, because the list server can often get far enough 
behind to scramble the sequence of a hot-and-heavy discussion.  The Delete 
button is right there on the screen.

As for embarrassment, how would you like to be the guy who accidentally 
posted a message to a big list that began:

"Hey Bob, great to see you on the reflector again.  I had lost your e-mail 
address when I moved out after Elizabeth and I separated.  Life has been 
pretty rough since then...."
