I wasn't being rude (although that's obviously a matter of opinion), i
was merely stating the fact that you weren't following Debian's code
of conduct for its mailling lists. If you needed to do a test you
could a) reply to a thread that interested you (with relevant
information to that thread) and, in the body, ask that someone confirm
they had received; or b) search the Debian archive later.

But i'm sure an experienced professional like you, who's even worked
with the best in the Linux world, will already know such meager means
of avoiding sending test messages to mailing lists. I still don't
think bragging is an excuse not to follow the CoC.
