NP. FYI, there is no "cancellling" a post in Usenet.

Yes there is.


There are a few caveats to his advice.

Shouldn't that be "in" his advice? I'm not sure whether you're
slagging him
off or defending him.

What he said was wrong, so i corrected him... usenet posts can be
cancelled.
=======================
Then why not explain to us HOW to cancel them should we chose to do
so?

From the menubar in Outlook Express: Message - Cancel message.

Most people set their newsreaders to poll every 5 minutes so, even if
you're quick, the chances are *someone* will have read it and maybe
replied.

Some news servers don't accept cancel requests... but if you cancel a
message it'll stop most people from downloading the message if they
haven't already done so.

Cancelling a message the next day won't help much as everyone who's
subscribed to the group will have already received it, but it's still
courteous to do so if it was posted in error.

Hope that helps.
===============
Yes. Thank you. I just never gave canceling messages a thought. :-)
