Got to do it here because of the nature of the test.

What exactly is so specifically related to alt.os.linux.slackware that a
post to alt.test will not produce a satisfactory test result?

Because he's now posting from motzarella.org, and he needs to see if they
have banned him yet from using this group.

I filed an abuse report with them for the post he made with threats in it,
I encourage others to do the same.

It defines someone as a careless newbie?

The amusing part is that even if the issue is with this specific newsgroup,
the guy has posted more than enough that enough reply to himself wouldn't
be noticed. Or missed if it didn't get through. SO instead of looking
like an idiot and posting a test message, he simply could have posted
yet more stuff and nobody would notice he was testing.

I don't think that that can be the reason as other posts from him via
motzarella.org seem to be showing up prior to this test message.

He's an idiot. If you need more explanation than that, you're just out of
luck, because he's an idiot.

Perhaps an explanation would defeat the object, its the mixture of
ineptitude and aggressive vituperation that fascinates, see this from
another thread:

There is more to this than being an idiot. Tom Newton, (whoever he may
be), seems to have a fixed idea of how *all* others should react to
him, *without* first conforming to the norms of the group into which he
has entered. Others in past have done so, insisting that this news
group conform to patterns of social behaviour that they find to be
acceptable. However they have at least at basic grasp of what they are
trying to achieve. Tom Newton/Tom N seems to state a position, (KDE is
an evil conspiracy), and then lash out angrily at all who dare to
suggest otherwise, then claims that no one is capable of 'debating the
question with him, whilst at the same time exhibiting a poor grasp of
the technical matters on which he is pontificating. Having the time to
watch his antics I find the whole thing fascinating.

Not unique to this group or the human race in general. Delusional and
self-absorbed come to mind when I read his posts.

He'd make a good regular in COLA.

I find him marginally interesting. But I'm pretty confident that any
explanation he might give for posting his "test" here could be fairly
reduced to, "I am an idiot."

Did I mis something? Is this "test" posting somehow special?

OTOH I'm quite impressed by this ODE project:
