   I have long been aware how posting "test" is poo-pooed, but still wonder...   
      
   How does testing a different group test the actual group you are worried   
   about?  I (too) was wondering if the group had died when nothing posted   
   for several days.   
      
   I honestly can't even remember how I set any of this stuff up, so "it"   
   suddenly breaking is quite worrisome.
