I don't see an issue with that. Off-list contact is about keeping 
exchanges that may not be of material interest to the majority at a 
minimum. I've often found others who want to know as well chime in 
stating so.

During these times that we can't travel to conferences, the social 
capital from this and similar lists is worth its weight in words.
