Test failed -- it wound up in comp.lang.php instead of alt.test where it belonged.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Because if you can post to one group, you can post to any group (provided, of course, that it's
a group your news provider carries, and it's unmoderated).

Exactly so.

it's a test of the newsgroup provider, not of your ability to post.
