How much alcohol caused Props <props@dock.co.uk> to say :
: The infidel bruce@cc.gatech.edu (Solomon) said...
:>Actually, depending on the originating server and group[s] it was
:>posted to, you can cancel anybody's post.  
: It's not the server, it's your news client.  The server doesn't care who
: gives the cancel request, it's just waiting for a request.  Your client
: is the one which compares your address with the posted address.
: Hence, you hack the client.

hmm... i'm not too sure... i think it might be news server specific..
then again i've only used news.gatech.edu to read my news. and i know
that news.gatech.edu only checks the From: header to see if you can
cancel a post or not. it might be different for another news server.
also, i would hardly call changing the From: header hacking... YMMV
