Pls use a test newsgroup rather than a live newsgroup for tests, for
example:
uk.test
us.test
There are many more which you can find by searching your source of
newsgroups to subscribe from, but, although it is is old & archived,
still take note of:

"To test a world-distribution newsgroup, use misc.test or alt.test.
However, use these newsgroups only when you are testing distribution,
and not just for casually testing a newsreader."
