Apologies for the massive crosspost...  I'm not sure where these people
are seeing this thread.  (Note the followups line)

Most of the files in:
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers/
and
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.newusers.questions/

This should be required reading before anyone even thinks about posting
to Usenet.

Don't worry about it too much...  dk@crl.com doesn't know what he is
talking about anyway.

From "Getting_Started_with_News_and_the_NN_News_Reader" (and described
in other reference material also):

	Unfortunately, canceling an article doesn't obliterate all traces of
	it from the Net.  After you post your article and before you cancel
	it, people will read it, save it, and possibly respond to it and
	include your article.  Also, even after you cancel it, there will be
	sites that don't get, or don't honor, your cancel message.
 

Good luck...
