You really ought to know that there isn't a mainstream news server on
the planet that still accepts cancel commands.

You ought to know that AT&T Worldnet honors cancel commands. Given
that they were the backbone for arpanet/usenet in the '80s, I'd
characterize them as mainstream.

You have a cite for that? Because if it is true I can set up a script
that will do a lot of good for the rec.aviation community.

That still exists? Wow!

I would have thought it would have been moved to the SBC / Yahoo
conglomerate ages ago.

Remember, it's at&t, not AT&T. G

In addition to being ineffective on nntp servers that do not honor
cancels, you may find that script to be a violation of Supernews'
Terms Of Use Agreement.

In addition to that, you wouldn't attempt to deny someone's right to
free speech would you? Ultimately such vandalism will only escalate
the issue.

You're thinking of a cancelbot?


This I gotta see.

Well, news.t-online.de honors cancel commands, and it's the news server of
Germany's biggest ISP, and since Germany is to the best of my knowledge on
the planet you are speaking of, that would qualify it as mainstream.

Some accept them from their own users but none accept them from other
servers so they are useless.

As a test I sent one one the message where I started this thread. Let me
know if it gets canceled on news.t-online.de.

Nah- remember the computers in Terminator 3 at Crystal Peak- those
were them.

They're tended by the robot from Lost in Space BTW. Or Brad Guth,
same thing.
