Well, I replied right at the point of my correspondent (Alex23).  If googlegroups isn't tracking that fact, it shouldn't put a reply button at every single message, but only at the end of the thread.

I see.  Someone should inform google not to put a reply after every post, but only at the end of a thread so users don't assume that it's tracking thread hierarchies.  So you're point is apropos, if that's the case.

In which case, my reply was to Alex23 who was replying to the OP's first post who goes by the name "r".
