You can cancel your own articles and resent them with the correct
subject line. The "cancel" option should be available in a decent
usenet reader.

In the situation that quiet_lad post some nonsense and other
people make sensible contributions about a different subject,
it would be good if quiet_lad cancels his original post.

As the administrator of a news server I have the power to
cancel a post of quiet_lad. This would be legal only if it was
clearly spam (e.g. promotion of Islam or Bollywood star porno.).

Cancellation worked better in the old days. Now you have probably
seen the message before the cancellation message reaches your
news server.

As an exercise I have edited the subject line to be political
correct. Note the [OT] "off topic" as this has nothing to do
with Forth.
