No, it DID post, while telling me it couldn't.  Weird.

Joanna's point is there are test news groups specifically designated for
the purpose of test posts, such as alt.test. Using those groups for such
posts cuts down on needless noise in legitimate groups. ; )

I don't have them on my iPad, which is where the gremlin seems to reside.
I kept getting messages telling me I couldn't post, but then I 
discovered I COULD, after all.    I thought there was something wrong 
with my NewsTap, but it seems to be unrelated.

Anyone here a gremlin expert?

Ignore test messages - they are rare and the complaints and replies 
(like this one) to those are more clutter.  Further, sometimes the issue 
is the particular group - that happened to me - albeit many years ago.

I wasn't looking for a reply in the first place 8-)  I just wanted to 
see whether I COULD post, intending only to read it myself.  I have a 
gremlin.

Understood.  It used to be de rigeur to blast at people who posted test 
messages outside of a test group.  I never saw the point in it since 
test messages are rare - at least they've been so in this millennium. 
So now I try to encourage people to ignore test messages - most people 
do but some just can't resist.
