Why not just post your actual msg. and see if it comes through? Then
you don't have to post 2 msgs.

Usually the NG alt.test is used for test posts so as to not clutter the
NG's.

So you don't have to ask "Where does it say I should not post test
messages in a regular NG", here are some sources.

From Indiana University

http://kb.iu.edu/data/afcj.html

How can I test-post a Usenet news article?

Note: You should never post a test article to a regular newsgroup. It's
an expensive waste of Usenet resources. Even if you send a test message
to the newusers groups, with a polite subject line like "test, please
ignore", you're guaranteed to receive lots of angry replies.

There are several test newsgroups you can use for test-posting Usenet
articles. Check for local test newsgroups first; if you have access to
one, UITS strongly recommends that you use it rather than a global test
group.

To test a world-distribution newsgroup, use misc.test or alt.test .
However, use these newsgroups only when you are testing distribution,
and not just for casually testing a newsreader.

Various sites will auto-respond to any message posted to misc.test,
which is one way of knowing whether your message got through or not. But
if that's not what you're testing, the auto-responses can be annoying,
and you should put the word "ignore" in your subject line to suppress
them. You can also try restricting distribution on your test post by
changing the "Distribution:" header on your post to local .

From http://www.newsreaders.com/guide/netiquette.html

The Seven Dont's of Usenet
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/dont.html

Item #4.....Don't post test messages ("will this come thru?") to any
group which is not specifically designated as a test group (such as
news.test)....

From http://www.savetz.com/yic/YIC05FI_17.html

5.17. How do I know my messages are really propagating on the Usenet?
When you post a message to any newsgroup, it should--depending on your
type of Internet access--start showing up on other sites within a few
minutes or hours.

If you are not sure whether your postings are leaving your site, post a
test message to one of the major Usenet testing grounds such as alt.test
or news.test. Out in the vast reaches of the Usenet, some sites have set
up programs, called autoresponders, that automatically send e-mail
replies to messages posted to the biggie test newsgroups. The
autoresponders are cool because: 1) you get to see that your message is
reaching other sites, and 2) you get lots of e-mail from all over the
world.

From http://oakroadsystems.com/genl/unice.htm

# Stick to the topic: Yes, each newsgroup has a topic | Post tests
in the right place

http://oakroadsystems.com/genl/unice.htm#test

Post tests in the right place

Don't post tests in a regular group and annoy everyone. Use misc.test,
alt.test, or alt.binaries.test that's what they're there for.

From Duke EDU

http://www.duke.edu/eng169s2/group4...glish/netiq.htm

If you want to do a test post, post only to newsgroups designed for that
purpose like misc.test, alt.test, or a local testing bed. This way you
save us the trouble of seeing "testing, please ignore" messages.

The biggest waste of usenet resources is not the person who unknowingly
posts test messages to normal groups but the person who then replies
with huge responses rather than just ignoring the OP in the first place.

Bite me. They never learn the right way unless someone educates them.
You just want to keep people ignorant to make yourself feel better.

How'd you guess???

May I suggest you should change your name from "I. Care"

to

"I Act Like I Care but I'm Really Just Seeking Approval From Others"

Apparently my previous post was right on. It is obvious from my posts
that I do not seek approval from others. It is also obvious I try to
teach/inform others and take the time to do so.

The long post was found to be necessary because I have been told, "I can
post test msgs. where I want, how else can I tell if this NG is working?
Where does it say test msgs. should be posted to test groups?" So I
included several authoritative examples. My goal is to teach/inform for
the future test posts, and avoid the long threads like this one. Most
test posters usually understand immediately. Very few need a long
thread of explanations to get the idea.

No Dear! There! There! Now ask Mummy nicely and she might put Teddy back in
the pram for you. From your posts, including the stupid, "Test", we will
excuse you on the grounds that you are a mere child with a child's usual
type of inane temper tantrums. Cheer-up, for a few years will see you act in
a more adult fashion.

I hope?

Blah, blah yourself. You are the cry baby throwing a tantrum instead of
trying to learn something. I never asked you to post a test message to
an inappropriate group either. Then you have a hissy fit when it is
explained to you and continue to bury your head in the sand.

The question was:

"How'd you guess???"?.

The answer is self evident. You throw a tantrum and act like an idiot.
You apparently don't want to learn, instead changing the discussion to
ridicule long posts, instead of saying thank you I didn't know about
test groups.
