Informal call for dicussion...
lugnet.test
===========
Posts of the type "this is just a test" seem to be on the increase. It's been
suggested before -- should a lugnet.test newsgroup be created?
* If it did exist, would newbies understand that they should use IT and NOT
other groups for testing out their browser?
* Would/should newbies get flamed for posting test messages in non-test
groups?
* If it did exist, would people [incorrectly] use it for non-test messages?
Or would people have the common sense not to do that?
* Should follow-ups automatically be force-set to the special value 'poster'?

There will be as much testing elsewhere as you get on RTL, etc. But it will give a good place to put test messages for those who DO know and get (...)
