Hmm, I have seen messages in newgroups that people thought they had
deleted. I wonder if it really works. As soon as you post a message it
is all around the world. I have actually chatted in a newsgroup with
someone on the other side of the world at a speed approaching icq.
The idea of cancelling a message seems to me like blowing dust to the wind
and then trying to collect each particle again.
