Some of you may be wondering what the purpose of test messages on a moderated group is. Well, we had a problem. The article address was changed the same day the group was created. Some people were having trouble posting from some sites. So, some folks were sending test messages to see if their posts would get through. I obviously didn't have to actually post them, since it was really a test of whether it get to me. But I posted them so the tester could see for themselves. As to the newsmistress, I doubt she posted the test. It was probably somebody else at her site who didn't know any better. -- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //// // // // // // // // // // // / /// ////// ///// // // // // ///// ///// // // // // // // // // // ///// // // // ///// // // // // // /// ///// // ///// // // / /// ///// ///// / /// // // // // //// / // // // // // // // // // // // ///// ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
