I sent out a cancel message just after figuring that out. Didn't look like it worked so well.

It won't -- except in a spotty fashion. Forged cancel messages have been used to terrorize certain newsgroups, so many news servers no longer honor them.

Ah for the good old days when the internet was still civilized.

Most of the major news servers stopped honoring cancels several years ago. Seems it was around the year 2000 or so last time I had a cancel that propagated very widely.

Jump down about halfway to the "Enforcement" section for a look back. Even in September '99 news admins were beginning to ignore cancels.
