I'm not sure if I can get news through here yet... -- Randall Nortman (aka Bob the WonderClown) University of Chicago rcn...@midway.uchicago.edu My opinions are just that - my opinions.
I'm just testing to see if I can post yet....

Today I received a response to a test message in rec.arts.ascii, from someone puzzled as to why I, who should know better, would post a test to a non-*.test group: > From: new...@midway.uchicago.edu (News Administrator) > Subject: test > Date: 14 Jun 1994 15:36:27 -0500 > Message-ID: <2tl4cb$ji...@gagme.wwa.com> I didn't, and I'd like to disclaim having done so. My guess is that one of my users with a misconfigured NNTP client posted the article; I'll attempt to track this down locally. (I'll also note, for future reference, that the test article had no .signature; my articles always do.) -- Ellen Keyne Seebacher new...@uchinews.uchicago.edu
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. -- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //// // // // // // // // // // // / /// ////// ///// // // // // ///// ///// // // // // // // // // // ///// // // // ///// // // // // // /// ///// // ///// // // / /// ///// ///// / /// // // // // //// / // // // // // // // // // // // ///// ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
