Sucks that I cant edit my own post's but I just wanted to add:
This is a USENET group -- that Google has gatewayed it into their scheme doesn't change the origins. USENET is "fire&forget" (a
"store&forward" system between multiple NNTP servers which periodically ask each other if there are new messages to be copied over).
In the early days, servers would honor a CANCEL command to remove messages from the system, allowing one to post a replacement. However,
lacking security (while one may have to log into A server, there is no authorization/checking done with regards to who issues a cancel) most
servers will now reject cancel commands, or only apply them to that server
but not propagate to the other servers.
