It would do no good to test in a group where you don't plan to post. You
test where you post. Just like you wouldn't go drive a chevy then buy a
ford. Although driving a chevy would make you buy a ford, well you get
the jist.

Why? You are only trying to see if your feed works. The only time you
might want to post a test to a group is if you are having trouble with
that one specific group. Even then it is easier to just reply to a post
then see if the reply shows up. As I have learned from hard experience
(grin).
