Here is a suggestion:

Look in control.cancel and search for any cancels with your post in
it. Does require some time and effort, depending on whether/not your
NG reader lets you search the message bodies. You could always try
Dejanews searching.

Once you find the author of the cancels, e-mail the person asking why
you were cancelled. You could also try askingg for help at
news.admin.net-abuse.usenet, or another news.admin.* group.
