Thanks to you, Shithead, I can't cancel that post.

Most news servers ignore a cancel anyway.

Shithead.

As usual, you're wrong and you're calling others names.

Canceling a post on Usenet has nothing to do with whether or not someone
has replied to it. Google Groups might remove it, but Google Groups
isn't Usenet. There are thousands of newsgroup servers and many of them
don't act on cancel messages.
