Not at all; servers may handle comp.* and alt.* differently, and
historically _have_ done so, for what were then and may still be good
reasons.

However, there is also comp.test, which would work... except that
Stefan's aim was to not to _test_ cancels and supersedes, but to
_demonstrate_ them to another comp.lang.c reader. (Though what he
_managed_ to demonstrate, at least on my server, is that they don't
work, which was predicted.)
