It's you, not u.  And no, you don't need to compile it.  There's a 
precompiled binary package for win32, and most (if not all) linux
distributions have it packaged also.  All i needed to do was
	apt-get install slrn

and slrn and the s-lang library were downloaded, unpacked and installed
onto my system.

There's nothing in the license agreement about it.  It's not necessary.
It's very simple.  There are rules for cancels:

First party cancel - you may cancel your own posts
Second party cancel - a newsmaster may cancel posts posted through his
                       server.
Third party cancel - spam cancels done according to the spam cancel
                       rules.


Now according to rfc 1036, the part behind the @ in the message-id is
the host where the message first entered the network.

According to the cancel rules, the owner of that host may cancel the
message.

Is 1+1 indeed 2 in this case?  Yes.  If you use *my* domain in your
message-id, I may cancel your posts.

So Forte Inc. may cancel your posts.

Will they use that right?  Probably not.  The question is, however, do
you want to *give* them that right.  Is it right for them to say,
"okay, you may use our newsreader, but we have the right to cancel your
messages."?


BTW, a usenet convention is not to make lines longer than 72 characters.
