Don't Read - Testing

[Alquemius]

Dont Read, that's a test!

 

[A. Sinan Unur]

Dont Read, that's a test!

This ensures that your posts will probably never be read or responded to.

 

[Tad McClellan]

Dont Read, that's a test!

If you were testing to see if a blatantly off-topic post
would get you widely killfiled, then the test succeeded!

 

[Alquemius]

Of course... that is what i intended... just testing if the account was
properly fixed...

Anyway... thanks!

Bye,
Txema

 

[Ben Morrow]

properly fixed...

No, *all* your posts, *ever*.

[Alan J. Flavell]

Damn right it's "properly fixed": in the permanent killfile.

No, *all* your posts, *ever*.

As I see it, the options are very simple.

If someone needs to post (to a normal group), it's because they have
something to say to usenet. By posting whatever it is that they have
to say to usenet, they get a free test too.

If they have nothing to say to usenet, then it doesn't matter whether
they post or not. Consequently, they have no need to make any test.

If they're too empty-headed to grasp that, I'm not sure what use it
would be to call their attention to the *.test groups.

Ho hum. F'ups prophylactically redirected.

Please do not full-quote.

I think you misunderstand.

Many of the regulars here have made an entry in their
newsreader's configuration to automatically delete every
future post from (e-mail address removed)

(you should use a testing newgroup for testing, we discuss
Perl in this here newsgroup)

Why you would intend for the most-willing of question answerers to
forever ignore your questions is a mystery...

 

[Eric J. Roode]

Dont Read, that's a test!

There are test newsgroups for this purpose (e.g. alt.test). Please don't
pollute a technical newsgroup with test posts.

 

[Si Ballenger]

pollute a technical newsgroup with test posts.

Maybe he is testing to see who can read AND comprehend vs those
that can't. ;-)

Your wish is my command:

really?

Mmm, well I guess.
After all, you all just wasted how many bytes of nonsense posting to a
test...lol

So are you wasting bytes of nonsense responding to nonsense? I sense a
recursive algorithm here!

Hi Alquemius,

Ignore the nettiquette police. Post away.

Cheers,

Hi Alquemius,

Ignore the nettiquette police. Post away.

Sure, post anything you want. Job postings, your resume, ads for penis-
enlargement pills and breast-enlargement creams.

I meant that he should post whatever question prompted him to join the group.

I was also suggesting ignore the people who think that it's beneficial to spin off a whole thread castigating someone for wasting bandwidth. Now they have publically flamed and killfiled him, he has no reason to take account of their preferences.

Cheers,
Ben Liddicott

Yes, please do. Ben will be the only one answering, though. Or perhaps
Purl Gurl.

I am sorry for that HUGE mistake i have commited. It was just a test of my
account, and i needed to do it in the channel i was intending to use.

Up from this moment, that i hope everything is properly fixed, the main
subject of every mail i post will be Perl Programming and all the terms
related with biological aplications of Perl, ok?

Once again... sorry.

Txema

PS: Its incredible that a 1KB test post can generate a conversation... lol

This is Usenet, there are no channels. What you are talking to is called
a newsgroup. If the software you use to access Usenet doesn't allow you
to post tests to a test group it is unfit for use. Get something else.

You are on new territory and don't know the local habits. Sneering
irony is not going to endear you to the natives.

Up from this moment, that i hope everything is properly fixed, the main
subject of every mail i post will be Perl Programming and all the terms

Let's hope so. Note that by top-posting you have violated another Usenet
rule. I guess it's best you take a look at the posting guidelines, posted
regularly to this group.

This is a new world for me,

I dont understand the mistake i made with top-posting, i dont even know what
that is.
