Subject: Canceling postings

23. *****
 Q: I am having problem with canceling my posting. What to do?

 A: How one cancels one's own posting is naturally dependent on the
newsreader program that one uses. In rn you can cancel your posting
by pressing C (that is shift-c) when reading your own posting. In
other newsreaders check their help function for the cancel command.
For example in tin the cancel command is D.
   Confusingly, it may happen that you are unable to cancel your own
posting but get a "You can't cancel someone else's posting" message
instead. That implies that the newssystem at your side has been
configured badly. The sender and your own id do not match. It is not
your fault. There is nothing you can do about that yourself. It is
up to your local newsmanager to set the system right. Contact
him/her in case of this problem.
