Actually, there are special groups just for testing--look for groups
with ".test" in the name, such as alt.test or misc.test
This group is intended more for questions about newsgroups and the
Internet. :-)
I see you're posting from Google - you might check to see if your ISP
provides newsgroups. If they do, newsgroups are much more enjoyable
using a regular newsreader and NNTP server than when using the clunky
Google web interface.
