   Unless there really is a question the poster wants to ask, or a comment   
   the poster wants to make, I personally would perhaps rather have a post   
   that doesn't try to "hide" the intention to make a test out of it.   
      
   Also, if you don't clearly state you're testing, people might not answer   
   because they don't see a need to reply to the question/comment you   
   wrote.   
      
   YMMV.
