I was just trying to inform him of the existance of "test" newsgroups, something which probably hadn't occurred to him any more than it did to me until I read a similar response to someone's test post to an inappropriate newsgroup.

But why didn't you test it with a comment or a question? And "On the air?" What air? this isn't radio. Must be on wireless... Tongue-in-cheeck aside, isn't it funny that Franz sent just one innocuous message just to make sure he's got everything right and gets chewed up. However the same person that flamed Franz has nothing to say about the useless (including mine) replies to that message. Ah, Usenet! You must love it! |

I've seen occasions where it would post to alt.test but not to a particular NG. |

I was born knowing how to **** and **** my pants. The rest I had to learn. Maybe he'll see this and be jumpin' someone elses bones in the near futu-) |

And now you continue to post responses to the useless post, which makes your point even less valid. |

"Carpenter" wrote in message However the same person that flamed Franz has nothing to say about the useless (including mine) replies to that message. Ah, Usenet! You must love it! OTOH, if you post to alt.test. you get back email from a server that tells you the time it took to be posted. That is beneficial to be sure you are getting "on air". |
