===================================
A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no
lessons, nor prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted, and
the
horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady
and
rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slide from the saddle.
In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a
firm
grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she
slides down the horse's side anyway. The horse gallops along,
seemingly
impervious to its' slipping rider.
Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away
from
the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot has
become entangled in the stirrup; she is now at the mercy of the
horse's
pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and
over.
As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away
from unconsciousness when to her great fortune.....
Ray, the WalMart greeter, sees her dilemma and unplugs the horse.
And you thought all they did was say Hello.

Mmm, not absolutely true: I've managed to cancel a few posts here and
there within the last year or so. But it's hit or miss and doesn't
always work (not all news servers honor cancel requests).

My ISP doesn't have its own news server and just buys service from
another ISP (even though it's in my ISPs name, so I guess it's aliased),
but my cancels still seem to work.

If your ISP has a news server and hasn't just aliased an address to
giganews or some such.

Cancels have been disabled for years across Usenet due to abuses in the
past.

And only if you're quick enough doing it on your ISP's news server. Once the
message has been forwarded to all the other servers, it's a wasted effort.
