(sorry about the late reply)

With Matt Dillon's DGP scheme, both the author (originator) and his
sysadmins can cancel the articles.  A feeder may even choose to add
keys to all articles passing through, so that it can tell all the
downstream servers to remove the article (usually not useful, but
possible).  A more likely occurence is that both the author and the
moderator sign the articles in moderated groups.
