INT WTF
I posted to the wrong group and cancelled the post from my end. Apparently it wasn't cancelled before you saw it.
Most providers don't honour cancel requests these days, because people were writing cancelbots to remove other people's messages they didn't like especially in controversial groups.
I didn't know that, thanks for the information. If I do mix up posts again, I will just post an apology right at that time.
Thanks - we all mix up posts.
The cancelbots started off with the best of intentions, to cut down on spam, but it didn't take long for too many people to use them.
Apparently so.

Just for accuracy's sake, canceling posts *sometimes* works. I've been able to cancel posts, within the last couple years. But cancelling a post is an iffy proposition, as described.
