Not particularly. It is the "standard" response to people who make the mistake that you made. In this case, however, it doesn't seem to have been sufficient to get the message across, as illustrated by the multiple other test messages also posted. :-( The message is that there are test newsgroups specifically for the purpose of testing newsreaders. Most notable is alt.test. It is generally considered inappropriate to use regular newsgroups for such tests. Doing so will usually get you responses along the general line of "test failed." -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgment. domain: summertriangle | -- Mark Twain

It's been awhile since I was on Usenet (back when I had Windows) and I forgot about alt.test.

What does a "Test failed" response do for the respondent? Give him (it generally won't be a her) a sense of power and personal triumph like "Boy, I guess I told him, huh!?" Maybe something like the great sense of accomplishment some must feel after setting a troll straight? Being a net cop will always be as useful as pissing into the wind.
