Generally, replies to a newsgroup post is posted to the
newsgroup and not sent to the poster, so "reply" DOES make more
sense to post to the groups; you are replying to the group.
In 4.75/win9X, "reply all" defaults to groups AND poster, but if
you click and hold, you are offered a choice between group and
poster or just the poster.
