... ? and what does it mean? - if one is having propagation problems

More specifically, it means that one or more articles don't get from
server A to server B. As I mentioned to XS11E, it can occur for one or
more articles, one or more posters, one or more groups, one or more
hierarchies, one or more servers, etc.. I.e. the scope, is or at least
can be, much wider than some poster "wants to see if his/her/its
messages are getting through".

It often - but not only - comes about due to some configuration
problem. If it's not limited to one poster, it's often a server
configuration problem on or between server A or/and server B. (If it's
limited to one poster, it *can* still be a server problem.)

I hope that that answers some of your questions. Feel free to ask
more.

I stand by my earlier position^1 which is the one XS11E was agreeing with
earlier.

- 'pure' test articles should be posted to test groups, whether they be
alt groups or big8 misc.test or even rump big8 groups such as comp.test
and so forth

- 'testing the waters' type test articles, which might be for the
purposes of testing some discussion group, whether it be alt, big8,
rump/rogue or otherwise, should be articles which are constructed to be
appropriate and ontopic, not purely/only - this is a test -
