Of course. To tell you to go to alt.test because that's where test posts should go. Why should I do what your subject line says? If you're annoying, I'm going to tell you that you're annoying.

Oh really? Where's the usenet rule that stipulates that? Ever read "test" posts in this and other NGs before? Try googling "test" for this NG and others and see what you get.

Never said and/or implied that you had to. Obviously you didn't heed the suggestion in the subject line, hence your response.

Likewise, I'll point out the same about you.
Would you have been more satisfied if the original post were phrased: "Testing a post -- Gee, that Michael Phelps is one fine swimmer"?

Test posts impose a slight extra load on the network, but nothing like the load imposed by this pointless discourse.

If you are testing the propogation of a specific newsgroup you can only do it by posting to the group, so there is a small call for test messages to a group. I usually disguise them as a reply.
