Sending test messages (was Re: don't read it)

Subscribe to it and use it for test message sending. As you guest it was just for test message sending to THIS ONE. Sorry for the inconvenience.

As usual, this resulted in a discussion that is further inconveniencing people ... The point behind that freebsd-test list is that it is configured in exactly the same manner as other FreeBSD mailing lists. If you can subscribe and post to freebsd-test, then you will be able to use the exact same procedure to subscribe and post to any other FreeBSD mailing list. So there is no reason to ever send test messages to anything other than freebsd-test. I'm not saying this to berate you, Jean-Pierre. My purpose is to clarify this for anyone who may be reading, or may in the future read the mail archives for this list.

The reason for the complaint (and the reason the freebsd-test list exists) is that you just inconvenienced thousands of people who subscribe to this list. The thing I find interesting is that when someone sends one of those so-called test messages, we get 19 people posting messages telling them how much they are inconveniencing so many people with the test message and rarely a single message telling the other posters how much their complaints about the test messages unconvenience people.
