M, if your post was to test if you could post to alt.os.linux.suse, welcome,
the test was indeed a SUCCESS.

Yes it was, although it would have been much better if said test post
was a real post, either in reply to someone else, or a new on-topic
thread[0], rather than a test post.

Please do not listen to the liars that claim
if failed. There is NO REQUIREMENT that test groups be used for anything.

In that case, why do they exist? Maybe, just possibly, they exist so
that people can make test posts without cluttering up other groups with
test posts?

And following your line of thinking, if I were to ever visit you, you
wouldn't mind if I was to take a dump in your kitchen sink. After all,
there's no requirement that the toilet be used for anything.

That said, it is considered POLITE (and this is a question of etiquette and
not a technical one) to post test messages to test groups.

At one point in time, people were expected to be polite. Apparently that
is no longer the case.
