There are some people, including myself, that feel if a person
is in dire need of information, sometimes at the message posters
request, that it is best to reply both to the poster and the group.
Some ISP's lose messages posted on news groups.
If you respond privately you deny the the other people in the group
the benefits of the information sent, but if you post it only on the
news groups the person needing the information may not receive it
as quickly as he indicated he needed it. It is then a optional decision
made by the person(s) who respond to your posted messages.
Some will and some won't but be glad in it and rejoice.
