First, I apologize for not snipping the personal information -- it
didn't occur to me.  I meant to poke a little fun, and didn't realize it
would be offensive.  Had I realized it, I wouldn't have made the post.

Your original post still appears in my news feed (so far as I know,
it isn't locally cached).  I've now made a couple of tries at canceling
my post, and every try is getting a 441 response, with the message "not
your article" (which is more than I used to get; the last time I tried
cancel an article, years ago, it appeared to take it but the article
didn't disappear).  So far as I can determine I'm sending the
appropriate identification, but it doesn't seem to be recognizing me.
Sorry...
