This server does not honor cancel requests, I am afraid. If you
cancel your original, it will be removed from your view, but not
from the server, not to mention the Google archive.
Assuming that is so, why can I not "delete" messages posted from
other people, if i just want to not see them?
Your use of the phrase "Assuming that is so" leaves me a little
confused.
Do you feel that the news server's inability to cancel posts somehow
should
then allow you to delete other poster's messages? I think I'm missing
the
connection here.
actually, you can delete someone elses postings. If you download the
messages for offline use, then the posting reside on your computer,
and you can do anything you want.
But, you can't delete the postings from the server, because the server
doesn't belong to you.
well, to clarify my meaning a tad, when I accidentally hit delete
on someone else's post, it says "no can do". YET others tell me
that I cannot delete my own posts "from the server". I understand that
it's too late to delete posts propagated to other servers, but I found
it paradoxical.
thats right. When they're on the server, then you
can't delete them. If you download the posts for
offline viewing, then you can delete them.
