Sorry about that folks.  What I wanted to type was ".a" to "add" with the
local editor.  What I hit (apparently) was ".s" which saves it to the mdss
log.  There is no practical way to delete a message one it is saved, as the
local board is (READ ONLY).  While I probably "don't know what I am doing,"
that is not the problem as far as this goes.  However, having just downloaded
72 messages for taoday's feed (I am the sysop for pro-xy) it is hard to
imagine that one bum-up message makes much difference.  I read plenty of
messages that would have been more infomrative if they had been sent before
the typing began...but that is part of the fun of looking in on a net. 
Efficiency and economy seem foreign to the enterprise, if not beside the
point.  But then, some may get a kick out of getting ticked off...
