20 What if I accidentally post something I don't want to? (Alt.Tv.Xena)
Don't panic. Your newsreader should have a CANCEL POST option
somewhere. Just RELOAD OLD ARTICLES or CHECK NEW ARTICLES
without leaving the news group in your reader. You should see
the article come up. Just select the article and then pick
CANCEL POST. Your newsreader will send out a cancellation
advisory that may prevent your server from sending the article
out. Your server will propagate the cancellation advisory if
your article has already been sent out, so chances are no one
will ever see the article if you cancel it quickly. It should be
noted however, that many ISP's no longer honour cancel requests,
due to wide scale abuse.
CompuServe and AOL users don't presently have the option to
cancel their posts.
