Interesting. I may even have spotted a poster I know from a motoring NG.
However, how would a layperson (or peasant) find one of these, and what would be the point, since one is testing one's connection/subscription to a specific NG, not a test group?

While I have heard that a post to one NG on a given server will succeed, while a post to another NG on the same server will fail, I have never personally experienced same. In my experience, if a post makes it to a test group on a given server, it will make it to the target NG. Basically, either your connection to your server works, or doesn't work. If it works, the posts will go through. I have not experienced group specific filters, though I have run into general filters, which will afflict all groups on a server equally. And lurking provides considerable experience. You get to watch the rank newbies, like yourself, get flamed for doing something wrong, and you can learn from the mistakes of others. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |
