I don't check the identity of everyone that posts....  I didn't "accuse"
anyone.  I just restated that tests were not to be sent.   Should I know
the person that sent that message?

FWIW, I've administered my fair share of mailing lists in my 40 years. 
When I send out "test" messages I always do it such that they never get
"out the door".  One can send a test message and get it in queue such
that that they will know it will go out. 

I hope nobody's feelings were dented.
