... 8.6 Canceling an Article You Posted
To cancel an article you posted, go to it and then, while reading it, type `C'. Here are some reasons that you might want to cancel an article: * Something you advertised in a forsale newsgroup has sold and you're still receiving inquiries about it. * You posted incorrect information and you want to prevent people from problems this information would cause. * You posted incomplete information and rather than posting an addendum to your first article, you'd like to repost the entire article, including the additional information. Unfortunately, canceling an article doesn't obliterate all traces of it from the Net. After you post your article and before you cancel it, people will read it, save it, and possibly respond to it and include your article. Also, even after you cancel it, there will be sites that don't get, or don't honor, your cancel message.
