I would have to agree with David.  When I reply to a newsgroup, I
usually expect it to go to the entire group.  The action I took was
automatic and was not so much a failure on the structure of the group as
it was a request for an action that was outside of the norm.  That being
said, I have seen mailing list emails where From: is populated with the
individual sending the email and CC: is populated with the group email.
This allows you to hit Reply to address the individual and hit Reply To
All to address the group.

I don't know if I agree with this.  In my experience on discussion list,

hitting reply always replies to the group.  Private replies are
relatively 
unusual, hence the current problems.
