All I have to do is highlight the post I want to get rid of and hit the
"delete" key. It then asks if I am sure that I want to cancel this post
and I say yes. Try it and see if it works for you. Of course you can
only cancel your own posts. That is unless you change your identity,
then you can cancel anything you want whether it is your or not.

Not that strange. What's happening is Jon sends the first post,
which takes off into Usenet and starts appearing on other servers.
Then he sends the corrected post, which is a separate item and also
gets distributed to the Usenet servers. That's when you see two
seemingly identical posts. The second post is followed by a cancel of
the first post, which (eventually) removes the original post from some
servers. Some people might always see both posts, as some Usenet
servers do not accept cancel commands.

Ah....thanks John. I didn't realize you could cancel a previous post
(or, at least try to do so). And here I thought it was just Jon K's
evil plot to confuse folks out here in Usenet land. :-)
