Yes, they did, unfortunately. I was checking the control messages to see
if any of my news.groups stuff had been canceled, and then saw a few
news.answers cancels. Lots of dog-faq posts. And then mine. Ack. But I
figured I could wait until they were posted again-- they're on weekly
posting right now.
> Doesn't it take more than posting a message to cancel an article?
Nope! Well, the sysadmins have to enable the cancels... but that's about
it, really.
> AFAIK, my posts still remain, despite being "canceled." Looks like a prank.
Not necessarily. the person may have heard that some FAQs had gotten
canceled, perhaps they expired early on his server, and was concerned
enough to drop you a "look into this?" note.
