Hypothetical scenario: There's a message on HP4GU main group that
clearly belongs on OT-Chatter (or the original post was fine for HP4GU
but your response belongs in OT-Chatter).  If you really want to be sure
that the person you're replying to sees your reply, you can do 2
things.  Check the "Members" section of the OT-Chatter group and see if
that person is a member of that group.  If that person is not a member
of OT-Chatter, you might send them an off-list private message telling
them that your reply is over on OT-Chatter.

It's a few steps more, but it saves the rest of us from reading an OT
reply on the main group.
