Of course I didn't revoke any postings.  And, as you said, it is
highly doubtful that I could have revoked any postings, certainly not
beyond my Usenet provider.  In any event, I didn't.

I do look around the UI. But, like every single other soul who uses a
piece of software beyond the most elementary offerings, I missed
something. Oh gee, how shameful.... And why would I search on the
Internet or the Usenet instead of using the mailing list which,
according to your website, is established specifically for support
purposes? In any event, I did just spend a few minutes searching--and
it shouldn't be necessary to search for something so basic--and didn't
find anything; perhaps it's out there somewhere, but, as I said, the
only reason for having a support mailing list is to offer support or
provide a forum for other users to help each other.
