    Are you not aware usenet has *many* test groups for this purpose? One
    such is: alt.test...

    Assuming this is the REAL siljaline...

    That's the level of his skills.

    Don't forget, Randy posted an attachment here some time ago when it is expressly forbidden
    both by FAQ/Charter and by the Usenet hierarchy.

    TEST: Failed
    REASON: Operator Incompetence
    DESCRIPTION: Literally hundreds of groups with "test" in their
    name, and you chose this one.

    To the earlier repliers, who blasted Silj for posting here:

    There are only a couple of scenarios that I can think of that might have
    made him make this post.

    1) This is the Siljaline who posts regularly with helpful advice about
    updates to Spybot and other anti-spyware programs. He may be not seeing
    his own posts and be testing to see if it's something wrong with this
    specific newsgroup.

    2) This is a fake Siljaline who won't pay any attention to you anyway.

    In either case, your approbation is unwarranted and/or unnecessary.

    What a wagon load of manure.

    Making "test" posts to a discussion group won't tell you one damned
    thing. If it doesn't who up it's just another post that went
    missing. No additional information at all. Hell, it could even be
    misleading because in some hierarchies they're filtered
    automatically. If it does show up you get the exact same amount of
    information as you would testing in groups that were created for
    the purpose. Unless of course you're stupid enough to believe in
    some sort of Usenet gremlin that hops from group to group eating
    your messages specifically. <laugh!>

    There's also a couple good ways to see if your posts are showing up
    that don't involve "test" posts at all. I doubt too many readers
    are so dumb they can't at least figure out how to navigate Google
    for one. And there's all sorts of "real" news servers out there
    that can be read for free. Even a quick email fired off to a couple
    regulars would be both a more polite, and technical sound way to
    sort things out.

    > In either case, your approbation is unwarranted and/or unnecessary.


    No son, as an old guard type who has been hanging out in Usenet
    forums since Usenet was a pup I can tell you that it was the test
    post itself, and your whining about people not appreciating it, that
    were unnecessary. Pointing out in no uncertain terms the idiocy of
    making the test post itself though, is absolutely necessary to help
    maintain good S/N ratios.

    Or would you feel like a bear in buckwheat having APS turned into
    the new alt.test?

    We can do that. <evil grin>
