What are you testing?

Well did it work?

How about posting a test post to the thousands of other newsgroups
that were created just for test purposes, they are easy to find just
look for the word "Test" in the group name:

alt.test

Is just one fine example..

Best Wishes one & all,

Can we get this straight once and for all! Some years back, Gene
Spafford and team found out that sending a test post to alt.test did not
mean that sending a post to uk.telecom.broadband would reach there so it
was advised that a post could be sent providing the subject header
reflected that and people could ignore it.

Okay, it doesn't stop the sort of people who, upon reading a 'wet paint'
sign then have to press themselves up against it to see if it is so!

Maybe, but why not simply wait until you have something to say, and use
that as your "test" post? One can use google groups to confirm whether
it's really left the local system(s).

If it works, then the test post was unnecessary. If it doesn't work,
then you know you have a problem to resolve.

Why don't you do what the rest of us do, and just ignore messages whose
subject is 'test'?

Now can we drop this please, and stop cluttering up the posts even more.
