Lines: 26 In an earlier article Ken writes: >this is a test to see if this message posts on sys.amiga Hi, Ken - Welcome to the group! First of all, this is NOT meant as a slight on Ken, or on anyone else for that matter! OK? OK. Now, on with what I want to say... For general knowledge, and merely using Ken's message as a springboard: messages can be cancelled, too. At least, with the rn news-reading package it's trivial. When the poster of an article reads his posting (which means that the message did, in all liklihood, actually get posted) s/he can hit C (shift-C) and rn will send out a (kind of magic) message that deletes the posting and relieves everyone else from having to read it. So, you'll have verified that the message got posted without bothering anyone else with it. Yours for easier news-reading, keith PS - Please save your "why post this here, it's not about amiga's" posting and flames for /dev/null. I'm just trying to help out, OK!?
