Welcome to this Usenet group.
The following just an FYI and no response is needed.

Since the post showed up here, the test failed.
Do you know about the 400+ test groups on Usenet?

Some interesting information about test posts may be found in
http://livinginternet.com/u/uu_test.htm

Please use something like alt.test or misc.test for testing.
For binary test, use something like alt.binaries.test

For a more productive Usenet exeprience, please, read

Welcome to this Usenet group.

Well thank your for your kind welcome, but since I've been posting here for
more years than I care to remember, I don't think I deserve such a sweet
little welcome message.

I reckon all thew real gardeners have been busy in the garden, leading
to few questions and even fewer answers, so a test message here was
most appropriate to see if this area was still alive.
Yeah were all in the garden OK?

Well if that is the case you wouldn't have needed to make a test post .

That doesn't even make sense. Check mouth in case foot is inserted.

Huh? You don't know why I made the test post, so I can't see how you came
to that conclusion.

Huh? That makes loads of sense. If you've been using usenet for years
why would you need to make a test post?

Check head to make sure brain is inserted! .

Enlighten me as to why you made the test post then? I hope you're not
seeing this as an attack, I'm considering it as a discussion!

Error in reply Are you talking to me? This is a silly argument/discussion.
The area has been quiet, so why shouldn't he do a test?
There may have been problems with his email program as can happen.
He does not have to stick to convention as it seems you would have him do!
What he does is no concern of anyone if he wishes to test his computer.
Then to tell him he's doesnt need to make a test? Youre kidding.
