To put it in perspective, when I first found NGs and set up subscriptions I
sent a test message or two to ensure I had completed the process successfully. You have been subscribing too long to remember....

I usually do one of two things, by way of a test post. Either use a test newsgroup, or post a reply to an existing article which would be sensible in the context of the thread, yet expendable, in case the post failed. The OP's article was neither; and confusing, as well. As if the poster was seeking assistance, rather than posting a test. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

I suppose so. I sent messages headed "test" so it was obvious I was not
asking a question... but so many people are not 'IT aware'.. You, too, have been in the 'business' too long to remember how it is for most people.

Closest I got was as a hardware technician for Hewlett Packard. I did not even learn about TCP/IP until my last couple of years. I have been "lurking" long enough to have learned the rule, and avoided a pitfall: "Lurk before you leap". -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

And you're guessing. So, by your own omission and assuming the OP did
the same, are you suggesting we lambaste the OP for puking a test post in a non-test group?
