What makes you think that? Did you use the "Cancel Message" command in 
Mailnews or not?

Please answer my question and tell me at which newsgroup and server you 
did that and which preferably timespan of posts you "canceled".

And if you managed to cancel posts at your provider's server, you most 
likely did cancel them at pretty much the whole usenet. Unless I am 
missing something.
