Thanks Stephen - I have now posted two cancel messages in an attempt to
remove the reposted spam and have obtained the FAQ for this group in hard
copy.
Sorry to all concerned for causing such uproar - just needed a quiet bit of
advice, as you've kindly provided.

TeaTime (in at the deep end)
.... biscuit anyone?

Dear John ;-)

Google Groups offers effortless

but badly defective

access to the few newsgroups/fora I
wish to natter to. I don't need to learn how to use special software or
even learn the proper names for what I am doing.

Yeah, but in this case, you're also using broken software.

If everybody had to be a skilled mechanic to run their own car there's
be precious few cars on the road. My computer is my toaster and
teasmade combined. All I ask is that it continues to function while my
wife makes the tea and toast. I'll fix the car.

Problem is, google groups is the equivalent of a car with no
indicators, no brakes and defective steering. More of a soap-box
cartie in fact. All you need is Fat Bob and Wee Eck to gie ye a push,
and the image is complete.

Ah. So I see. :-) Bloody Lookout Depress has somehow contrived to get
you to put the Control: line in the body, not the header. I don't use
it, so I can't advise. Probably not worth the trouble: as is SOP (YABA)
for USENET, the fallout from a minor "transgression" has already
generated far more off-topic postings and wasted bandwidth than did the
"original sin". :-)

We must all be truly bored -- has the weather truly been that bad, or is
it just the full Moon?



Best,
Stephen

I covered how to do this in my post of the 22nd May. Please try to
remember the method when advising OE users.

TeaTime was following your advice but typed the cancel in the body
since there is no direct way of adding stuff to the header (the designers
provided that as menu choice).

There's little wrong with OE when supported by Quotefix these days
for the average user.

Which werewolf doesn't remember Oor Wullie?
He copied our hairstyle!
Pure plagiarism.
We were here first!
Nothing is sacred these days. :-(

I did try to use the MESSAGE - CANCEL MESSAGE option in OE, but it was greyed
out on those postings. Experimenting since, I gather it greys out after about
24 hours for any given posting. Once the mud has dried, it sticks apparently.
