Ha! Very well. We are communicating ineffectively on different topics.

fwiw testnet3 was being abused by scammers. They found a way to extract value from any proof of work network so the utility of testnet3  to the bitcoin movement as a whole had fallen below zero (this is a subjective value judgement). It was overdue for a refresh because it became too hard to get new coins.

Fabian Jahr (who is awesome btw) took it upon himself to lead the charge for a new testnet4 without the protocol vulnerabilities of testnet3. He is continuing that work, most recently with a project to fork off chains of 0-difficulty blocks mined by scammers on testnet4. This last project won 3rd place at a hackathon I participated in. 🤙
