You are aware that NNTP (the Usenet protocol) allows:

 - messages not yet posted to be canceled
 - posted messages to be explicitly deleted
 - messages to contain an expiration date header
   (after which the server may auto-delete them)

Deleted messages leave holes in the sequence.

Not all NNTP servers honor all (or even any) these operations - but
some do, and although 2004 is relatively recent, you should note that
in the past servers tended to be more permissive because many fewer
people were deliberately abusing them attempting to cause problems.
