You'll have to excuse the resident "Barney Fife"-mentality trolls, like Daffy Duck, et.al. They mean well (in their own small minds) but all they manage to do is constantly prove how ignorant and foolish they are. Which works out well. Now you'll know which ones to kill-file first before even posting or replying with anything on-topic. I do the same thing with any discussion forums when I first join them to ask a question or two. I first check the post count of anyone replying to a question of mine. If their post counts are upwards of thousands, then I know it's just the usual resident role-playing armchair-expert trolls that have taken up residence there, parroting what they've read elsewhere, having no valid information nor experience relating to the real-world whatsoever. They wear their high post-counts like some badge of honor. When in reality all it means is that they have no real experience with any topics except for their familiarity with keyboards. It's fun to use Google Groups and plug in a nym being used in these groups to check their usenet post counts. You'd be surprised just how many arm-chair-expert role-playing trolls with zero real-life experience are in residence.

Unfortunately, your test failed: Your post showed up here, instead of a test newsgroup. Your newsreader appears to be posting to the wrong group. Seriously, in the future, please use a test newsgroup (e.g., alt.test, comp.test, microsoft.public.test, misc.test, rec.test, regional test newsgroup, test newsgroup set up by your ISP) -- that's what they are there for, and you'll get the additional benefit of automatic confirmations by various remote servers.
