Please do *not* post test messages to comp.sources.testers !

   If you wish to test your news software, create a local group and try
   using that first.  When that works, locate a regional group to test
   posting articles to the world.  Ask your upstream feed for the name
   of an appropriate regional newsgroup near you.  If you really feel 
   that you must post a test message that needs to go to most every news 
   system worldwide, use misc.test, or news.test.  Just remember, messages
   posted to the world costs other sites money.
