If you're making a new post, you don't reply to either.

Anyhow it seems to be working okay. Hello back.

Usenet gets few newbies, so welcome. Just so we old timers don't
yell at you, check out the "netiquette" for usenet.

Netiquette and Usenet culture

One thing to start with. Don't top post. Post after what your
responding to. Its a discussion group, and people like to follow
the conversation.

If your responding to a post, post to the group if you want everyone
to see it. A lot of people do NOT have "real" e-mail addresses in the
return mail area. Using your real e-mail address opens you up to
even more SPAM in your e-mail than you normal get.

If you like SPAM (Unsolicited E-mail) then post using your real e-mail
address.
