Hello - just testing.
The proper newsgroup for testing is rather `local.test` though,
so just you know.
I tried to reply to a thread, but don't see it showing.
Protip: "Reply" in SLRN is not a netnews reply,
but rather an *email* reply to the post's author. [1]
To actually post in netnews in reply to another post,
use "Follow-Up" function instead-- in SLRN, press `f`.
If you use any other newsreader that present you a choice between
"Reply" and "Follow-Up", always use "Follow-Up".
Looking forward to see a successful reply.
Have a good old netnews time,

[1] I run a Netnews game called "ASCII Of?" [2] in `tilde.art.ascii`
newsgroup; and once in a while, I would get replies in my mailbox
from new people who just started out using an old-style newsreader
like SLRN and tripped over this.
[2] Like "Pictionary" and "Draw Something", but ASCII art:
