Test Failed. Missed alt.test or any of the other test newsgroups by rather a lot. Why not post a real message, and treat it as a test, if for some reason you feel the need to ignore the test newsgroups? |

So I posted a question about pricing and usefulness of an old Sears &
Roebuck Lathe. I needed some feedback quick before I met with the guy the next morning. When the message didn't post in a reasonable time I sent a test which also didn't post quickly (my rinky dink ISP). So I got more responses goofing on my test message, admonishing me, or other BS than the one helpful message I actually received on the lathe. Lathe turned out to be a cheap tubular piece of crap after I researched all possible Sears lathes on "Old Woodworking Machinery", but I bought a dust collector (3hp 220V 2 bag system) and am picking up a panel saw on Monday. As primarily a lurker and low volume poster, I have to start to wonder why I wade through all the crap & BS on this group. The signal to noise ratio is poor & getting worse and that's without BAD.

You don't find it useful to know that there's a whole series of groups such as alt.test, which will auto-respond to your posts to let you know they worked? |

If you had reposted the question about the Lathe - with a note at the top that it was a repost because you haven't seen your post appear, then you wouldn't have gotten all this static. Sometimes posts get lost or delayed and the re-post appears before the original. In such cases the re-post would actually be useful to you in getting feedback. ... -- --henry schaffer hes _AT_ ncsu _DOT_ edu |
