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.

In my experience on discussion list, hitting reply always replies to the group. Private replies are relatively unusual, hence the current problems.
