===========

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'?


I have another idea:


Different groups...

   lugnet.newsreaders
   lugnet.newsreaders.test

...same questions.
