I've had independent confirmation that Google honored my "delete"
request. The option to delete a message only appears if you're logged in
to Google Groups using an account you've set up with them, and only if
the e-mail address on that account matches the "From:" header on the
message, and the option disappears if you wait too long before trying to
use it (1 day?) - but the option does work, when available.

As for Google "knowing everything": I save my posted messages, and last
time I checked, Google was missing more than 1/3 of them (mostly the
older ones that they should have inherited from Deja News).

I was "under the influence" of a long day spent trying (and failing) to
meet an important deadline.
