Car Forum / Citroen Cars / November 2006Test - Please Ignore
Hi folks, Please ignore this post - it's a test as part of an IT course that I'm undertaking. Apologies for any inconvenience suffered :-)  SignatureRegards Steve G > Hi folks, > > Please ignore this post - it's a test as part of an IT course that I'm > undertaking. > > Apologies for any inconvenience suffered :-) There are special newsgroups for 'test posts'; eg alt.test - if you use a genuine email address, you'll get an auto-responder email confirming the details of how your post reached 'the system'. Newcomers to newsgroups should start here <http://computer.howstuffworks.com/newsgroup.htm> and here <http://members.fortunecity.com/nnqweb/>, the Official Home Page of the newsgroup called news.newusers.questions.

Hi Whiskers, Like I said in the OP I needed to post a message. I know all about test groups - but I don't subscribe to any and this message had to go to a group I was already subscribed to. I didn't need a responder and I NEVER use my real email address in newsgroups. I'm not a newsgroup newbie; I've been contributing for several years. Do a search on this group and you'll find several posts from me and I've only been subscribed for a couple of months. I'm also a regular contributor to six other newsgroups and about the same number of forums. Happy now? SignatureRegards Steve G >>> Hi folks, >>> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > group I was already subscribed to. I didn't need a responder and I NEVER > use my real email address in newsgroups. You do not have to 'subscribe' to a newsgroup to post to it - in fact it would be rather silly to subscribe to alt.test. If you 'need to post a message' and don't want to get flamed for posting test mesages to a non-test group, then post a message that only you know is "a test". The links I gave you will take you eventually to <http://members.fortunecity.com/nnqweb/nnqlinks.html#test>, which is relevant. > I'm not a newsgroup newbie; I've been contributing for several years.

When you make a newbie-type mistake, you get replied to as a newbie. > Happy now? <shrug> I don't know if that state is one I can ever expect to attain.

Okay, I've tried to be polite but as you don't know the first thing about me or what I am doing and still feel obliged to sound off all superior here's my final word on the subject before you go into my kill file. I didn't make a mistake. I deliberately sent that post to this newsgroup. I made it quite clear in the subject that it didn't require any form of response .. but I guess there's no helping some folk. On that basis you can take your supercilious, pious comments and stuff 'em where the sun is never, ever going to shine. Now I'll take money on the fact you can't resist responding to this - I even bet you feed trolls - even though I won't be able to read your words because you're plonked :-) SignatureRegards Steve G wow - so much tension! calm down guys - this is how wars start ... if this is how you react on a newsgroup I hope I never meet you on the road ... smile - it's nearly Christmas! > wow - so much tension! calm down guys - this is how wars start ... > > if this is how you react on a newsgroup I hope I never meet you on the road > ... > > smile - it's nearly Christmas! Hi, hey everything is TIC y'know :-) Just as a matter of interest I'm a Gold standard RoSPA advanced driver, an IAM senior observer, a qualified ADI(Car) and LGV1 license holder. I keep my frustrations well away from the roads :-) For all you know we've already met ... I'm the one that doesn't drive so close behind that I can hear your stereo playing and always give a smile and a wave to other courteous drivers. And just to prove I'm a really nice person really I drive a Citroen :-)) SignatureRegards Steve G SteveG <_@_._> wrote in news:WMjah.7206$k74.1925 @text.news.blueyonder.co.uk: > Just as a matter of interest I'm a Gold standard RoSPA advanced driver, > an IAM senior observer, a qualified ADI(Car) and LGV1 license holder.

His 'test post' in a non-test group certainly proved something.
