Lost in cyberspace

I put up a post a few minutes back, but I don't see it. This is a test
post.

I was testing this particular newsgroup, as I generally have no trouble
posting. I received no error messages, but my post still hadn't showed
up after 30 minutes. Both posts showed up within a couple of minutes
of each other - about 5 minutes or so after I posted this second post.

BTW I removed 'Lost in cyberspace' (almost a day ago) as soon as I saw
my original post finally make it. I'm surprised you found it, as it
listed for less than an hour.

I see the little blip about replying to usenet, but frankly I am
unfamiliar with it.

Your test failed: Your post showed up here, instead of a test newsgroup.
Your newsreader appears to be posting to the wrong group.

In the future please use a test newsgroup (e.g., alt.test, comp.test,
microsoft.public.test, misc.test, rec.test, regional test newsgroup, test
newsgroup set up by your ISP) -- that's what they are there for, and you'll
get the additional benefit of automatic confirmations by various remote
servers. Thanks for your consideration.

That's what "test" newsgroups are for.

FYI, most newservers don't honor Cancels.
