Hmmmm...often have I cogitated on just this occurrence...

If a person is going to verify that his or her newsserver/
newsreader/keyboard/whatever is functioning correctly, and
they place the word "test" in the subject field, then why
on earth would you duplicate that effort by placing the
word "test" redundantly in the body of the post?

Wouldn't leaving the body of the post empty also suffice,
since he or she would know that his or her functional
verification was successful after viewing his or her post and
it's terribly original subject field of "test" in the list of
posted drivel?

Or why not show a flair for the only slightly mundane by
using other parts of one's vocabulary.  After all, you can't
use the word you are trying to define in its own definition.
