Do you know what they are talking about? It sounded to me like they wanted to cancel their post. This is ultimately a function of the news server. The user can demand the feature in their news client all they want, but if the server doesn't provide the feature, it's not going to work. I'm not aware of any public news server which provide this feature. > > > >>> mark them "Read" and they will be gone when you come back [reload].

Well, that's a new one on me :) The UI simply says Go -> Next -> Unread Thread. It doesn't say anything about marking the current thread "read", but sure enough, that's what it appears to do.
