Hello;
This is a test message of the third version of Usenet, ("U3") based on the original 1976 program with new ideas from the Usenet 2 mailing list which begat the BOFH groups.

Per RFC 850 or at least in the spirit of it, all you need to do is provide accurate headers That's what usenet is, the media and transport no longer matter now that every device is a newsreader. Did anybody ever try to reboot it when it turned off?

The U3 system will figure it out; it doesn't really matter where you put it, it only matters if the headers aew right.

Article id's will still have to be unique, but for now, not, it doesn't matter if the date is unique, even then, who cares?

New groups are automatic and may come and go and we have no more opinion on this than we have on how a salamander should grow, mostly because it's just Usenet.

There are a lot of usenet groups now it turns out. The same intelligence that will pluck articles out from the net will simply see it as one large context with a great gap in the middle, which we will refer to as "the dark ages".

It is hoped a large body of mutual cooperation will coalesce shortly.
