It's not a bother. Such a test post is a warning to everybody that the
person behind the computer is an idiot and will eventually end up in
the killfile. The test message saves the trouble at a later date.

Just like I don't get bothered by people who leave their turn signals on
any more. I now take it as a warning to everybody else that the person
behind the wheel isn't all there and that everybody needs to give the
idiot some extra distance. "blink! blink! I'm stupid as hell!"
