It doesn't work that way. A newsqueue is one entity; the newsgroup header
just is used at display time. They all transport together the same way,
with the obvious exception of moderated groups.

Maybe he didn't know about that group. I didn't. Maybe he wondered if
there was a problem with his access to this group, since it's been relativly
dead of late.

Thing is, with alt.test and similarly named groups, autoreponders will
let you know how far it gets how quickly, and all sorts of useful
info about your post and how it goes out.

Also - why not post a _real_ message and use it as your test if you
insist on putting it in a discussion group?

he did, below. "DYP japanese Infantry pro......"

however my guess is he posted that. checked back a few minutes later only to
see it had not showed up.....or maybe his news reader brought up an error
when he posted.

Yeah, that's right, let's just disregard decades of standards and convention.
News flash: better minds than yours designed usenet. That's why it works.
