I deleted my original post because the header was incorrect as you
pointed out.  This is OLTL not AMC..  Anyway, the original post was the
following:




You can delete off usenet?! FWIW, your post still shows up as originally written on my newsreader (OE), but I'd be interested if in fact it did get deleted for those who didn't read the first post. Could be useful knowledge when I lose my temper in other groups and then cool off! How did you go about deleting it, if in fact it is deleted?



I don't know about Outlook Express, but in Netscape products you just right click on the message, and click "Cancel Message". :) <<


You can't "cancel" a message once you've posted it to Usenet. The original post that the poster _thinks_ he cancelled is in fact still there, right at the top of the thread.

It's like saying that you "cancelled" a magazine after it's been published and has hit the stands. Once it's out there, it's out there.


You can cancel a message; and depending on when various news servers update their groups, and individuals download the messages... *some* will not get the message. Of course, you need to cancel it immediately, for it to have much effect. :)
