Two hosts set up (from profile migrated from 4.61), 127.0.0.1 (Changi),
and my ISP, news.atlantic.net. If Changi is down, then I !*!must!*! be
reading from news.atlantic.net. When I am reading news.atlantic.net, and
choose to reply to the post I am reading from news.atlantic.net, Mozilla
should not be deciding I should instead be posting the reply to some
news server other than the one I am reading from. Netscape does not make
this absurd assumption.
