Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / January 2005To whoever is running this newsgroup
I accidentally posted a newspaper column with an attachment to the group. If you could delete this message I would appreciate it. I'm hoping it won't show just because of the attachment. Thanks, and sorry. Just a dumb mistake. Sheldon sheldon@sopris.net > I accidentally posted a newspaper column with an attachment to the group. > If you could delete this message I would appreciate it.

When you accidently post something meant for somewhere else, __you__ can kill it. Just point at it in your newsreader and hit delete or right click and delete (or "cancel" it). Your news server should honor the cancel as coming from you. (It might not). The header, in the meantine, is propagating at great speed through the internet and will show everywhere. Cheers, Alan.

Only you can send out a cancel, there should be a cancel option in your newsreader, but since most systems don't honor them anymore so it probably would do little good. Since it was a boo boo, and you said sorry, I think most will accept that.

I'll assume it's because of the attachment. Did it show up anywhere else?

Did it show up anywhere else? [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> Sheldon >> sheldon@sopris.net Yes, NewsGuy and NewScene, almost immediately. BUT, as stated by me, and others, it just happens. Other than removing it via control.cancel, or an e- mail to your news server admin, it should not be a big deal. You tried, you apologized, and THAT is what is important. Someone may flame you for it, but don't worry about that. That/those person(s) would probably flame anyone for anything. Hunt > Well, for whatever reason it has not shown up on my ISP's server. I'll > assume it's because of the attachment. Did it show up anywhere else? yep.

Since this NG has no moderator, you will only be able to either contact your ISP/news server admin and request a cancel, or try the NG, control.cancel. Otherwise, it will just appear and all (most, at least) will accept your apology for having posted it. It happens to most of us, at some time, or the other. There are so many "dumb mistakes" waiting to catch us all. No biggie, at least not from me. Hunt I already got one incredible flame, with a cc to the ISP to have me banned from newsgroups. I guess some people have nothing better to do with their time. I have a feeling this guy trolls groups looking for errors. From the flame you'd think I just ran over his kid in my car and drove off. > In article <h8adnXavkKEYjWncRVn-og@comcast.com>, > sheldon@XXXXXXXXsopris.net [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Hunt > I already got one incredible flame, with a cc to the ISP to have me banned > from newsgroups.

Yes, as Zelda says, "Don't sweat the petty things, or pet the sweaty things... !" Sheldon, if this, or similar, has not yet happened to all of us, it is only a matter of time, before it does. Your apology speaks volumes on your character. Hunt >>> I already got one incredible flame, with a cc to the ISP to have me >>> banned from newsgroups.

If this is the same Sheldon that used to haunt the Sony-interest MIE web forum, I can vouch that 'good character' is his middle name. Evem if not the same fellow, 'our' Sheldon does indeed sound like a good egg. Welcome aboard!

Back at ya. ;-) Sheldon >> From the flame you'd think I just ran over his kid in my car and drove >> off. > > Don't sweat the small stuff. Just because children are 'small stuff' doesn't give you immunity from prosecution. The lawyers have wrecked it for everyone. <g> mike > >> From the flame you'd think I just ran over his kid in my car and drove > >> off.
