So? Still, it was not a reply neither to your message, nor to any other
one that was posted in reply to your own. One hour is little: he might well
have written his reply and sent it out before your email arrived in his
mailbox or before he read it.

Nowhere does any netiquette state that. If you know one that does, please
quote it.

The context and content of the email might warrant this behaviour. If you
spotted a case in which you think it does not, please write a personal email
to the party involved advising him about the correct way to reply an email
in a mailing-list. Myself I am going to entertain any further discussion on
this matter only in private.
