Hooray!!
So far, no sniveling twit has chimed in with a protest...whining
that you should have posted to a "test" NG.

Never worked out how posting to another group would prove you could
post to the group you really wanted to post to in the first place. ;-)
Exactly.
It is not uncommon for a particular group to go on the blink, while another
(such as a test group) works OK.
One way around the whole question is to simply post a REPLY to an old
thread--which accomplishes the test.
-But either way, it's easily ignored.
Thankfully, usenet is reiable enough that the occasional test posts remain
insignificant in number...since most folks have no problem and don't need a
test.
