IMHO, they are so incredibly off-topic that I don't see why they
should remain here to pollute the pages of a D language forum.
The forum is a web frontend for a newsgroup server, which also has a
mailing list interface. I think the NG server does support message
deletion, and that may cause it to disappear from the web frontend, but
it will still be in NG readers and inboxes.
It does support that. When I used Opera for my NNTP client, I could
actually remove my own posts (I would do this if I made a huge typo, or
postd by accident). I don't think Thunderbird supports that (and Opera
discontinued their client).
However, I think the web forum software doesn't obey those deletions.
And it's so darned fast, I'm sure it picks the erroneous message up
before deletion ;)
