You may want to use alt.test for this. That seems to be its sole
purpose in life....

Which new reader on rec.bicycles.tech are you trying to test, and why?

We should welcome newbies to the group, not put them to the test. We
have plenty of smart-ass regulars as it is. 😉

I would suggest that it is a test of a new writer.

Actually, I am not new to this group, just haven't posted for a while.

By "reader" I am referring to the client program, often referred to as a
newsgroup reader. In this specific case, I have switched to Mozzila's
Thunderbird, a combination e-mail and newsgroup program, and, obviously,
it it working fine.

Yes, that is what I should have done, and will do in the future if the
need presents itself.

Interestingly, more people read this and received some pleasure in being
able to express "cute" ideas.

Yours was constructive.... Thank you.
