I noticed that Kingley somebody or other posted the same god damned message
to 121 groups without any crossposting.  Just to see what would happen (I
figured it might remove them locally), I hit the 'C' cancel key in nn.
Lo-and-behold, the cancel message actually got send out to the downstream
and upstream sites!  How can I cancel somebody elses post?  Shouldn't it at
least check that I'm the same person, or at the same site?

Is this a C-News problem, or a nn problem, or a feature?
