The post cancellations hardly ever work. Most servers ignore the
cancel command. Too many people were sending out forged cancels.

I count seven of your postings preceding this one.


You may well get the message to disappear on your own machine, but it
most likely won't go away from usenet.

I know that what mike says is true from direct experience. I have
tried to cancel his postings and it has not worked.

FWIW:

The first time (within minutes) I tried the "Remove" [DELETE] Option
it did NOT work.

The second time (a ouple of Hours) I tried the "Remove" [DELETE] Option

it did work.

Maybe It Just Takes Time . . .

That is so cool. You can go WAY back and see all the posts over the past 15
years.

Who made the first post? Someone named "Chuq Von Rospach"

And you could do it for some time. Dejanews started in 1996, and
when
google took over their remains, got that archive. Then google was
able
to incorporate some older archives, likely incomplete, going back to
the beginning of Usenet in 1979 or so.

This has nothing to do with the interface that they introduced this
week.

True...I use google quite a bit. I'm not too keen on the new format. I
prefer the
old. Why does someone always feel the need to bugger up something that
works just
fine as is....This new format is a PIA. MK

I like many of it's features, but it is way too buggy to run on it's
own. They should have run both systems in parallel. A couple of my
messages showed within minues of posting while others have not yet
shown after 7 hours.

BETA Testing is not going so good.

All my Message/Reply 'posting' do not seem to be appearing for the last
2-3 days.
