[Oops!]

Last night, I inadvertently posted a joke three times.  I thought
I had cancelled the first two postings; obviously I had not!

>From the 'readnews' documentation, I understood that reading
an article and responding to the [ynq] prompt with 'c' cancels
the article (if you own it).  It did delete it from our local
area.  Any ideas as to why the postings got out anyway?

Thanks and Sorry!
