Welcome to this Usenet newsgroup.
The following is just an FYI and no response is needed.

Since the post showed up here, the test failed.
Do you know about the 400+ test groups on Usenet?
The ones ending in .test.

Some interesting information about test posts may be found in
http://livinginternet.com/u/uu_test.htm

Please use something like alt.test or misc.test for testing.
For binary test, use something like alt.binaries.test

For a more productive Usenet exeprience, please, read
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
and http://tgos.org/newbie/index2.html

For odd punctuation marks seen at end of text, you might look at

Note: You may want to save those urls. I have been posting this for
more than 4 years with the archive flag set so that servers
honoring the flag can delete this post. That saves some space on
the server due to the amount of newbies posting test messages to
live news groups.

I think you're making a bad trade-off. Live bandwidth is more valuable
than archive space. By not letting your posts get archived, you reduce
the chances that someone will see such a post while he's contemplating
sending a test post.
