Get a life. You don't understand ignore? I posted the test to this ng
because it didn't appear on alt. test.

I failed nothing. You on the other hand....

There may be but the op may be having trouble posting to this group, so he
did what I or any other sensible person would do and post a 'test' message'
then if it appears on his machine he has been successful, simple really!

But as shazzbat is a regular member of urg, it wouldn't hurt anyone to
help out a friend, perhaps?

Agree.
Perhaps the strict guidelines were laid down when only dial-up was available
and I certainly would have been annoyed by a test post when I was, because I
had to pay per minute but now I have broadband available - and most have by
now- I see no reason why an urg member cannot send a test post.
It does after all, say "please ignore" but no-one I know can ignore a post
that says that ;-)

I'm on a GSM dongle... and in English...

I have a USB stick attached to my laptop which is effectively a mobile
phone. It can't make calls. It can only use the 'data' facilities that
smart phones need. I purchase my data. When we were on dial up we'd get
the bill at the end of the month. I'm on PAYG. When I hit the end of the
credit I've bought, my internet access is cut off. I pay for *every* post
I download.

Given that, the size of a test post compared to opening Facebook is
infinitesimally small. there are no pictures on usenet (well not the
groups I frequent).

That's exactly what happened to me on dial up.
.. Luckily I have broadband now., and I only use my phone for emergencies.
