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

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.

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.

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.

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>
