Why do people do this? HELLO! There are perfectly good TEST GROUPS, why
not use them?

Morning had broken, and I found when I looked that we had run out
of copper roove nails.

For the simple reason I was testing posts to THIS group.
You did not have to read it.

Yes we did. It said 'please ignore' in the body of the message. How
could we know we had to ignore it until we had read it? You could have
been 'testing' your brakes for all we knew.

My apologies for anyone inconvenienced.

What the _hell_ is the point of designing and building a system for
people too stupid to use it?

There is _nothing_ _special_ about this group. It is part of the UK
hierarchy. There is a group <URL:news:uk.test> explicitly for test
posts to the UK hierarchy.

But hey! Don't mind us. We're only geeks. Splurge your selfish little
test messages all over the place because you can't be bothered to read
the fairly simple FAQs and guides which explain how all this stuff
works.

Sorry. I've had a bad day with Curstomers. My tolerance for lusers is
never very great at the best of times, and this is not the best of
times.

There are no messages. The above is just a random stream of
bytes. Any opinion or meaning you find in it is your own creation.

Whoops! Slightly went off on one there... apologies all.

do some work for and with Simon.

Alternative response: Yes I admit that has been a failing. In future I
shall try to encourage and support fools as much as possible.
