When making a public response in a newsgroup it can quite normally 
be regarded as being addressed to all readers whether they have 
posted on the subject or not. 

If it is desired to make a specific response to a specific poster 
then a private email is best, or alternatively, state clearly that 
the content of one's response is directed personally at the particular 
poster quoted in that response. 

Quite often public postings are directed at all potential readers.

Bye,
