Request to Todd to have this added to the implementation queue (perhaps
with a relatively lower priority)
I think having a way to cancel a message from the web (which perhaps was
reviewed by a human to verify bonafides) would be a good thing. I would
make the interface such that one could request the cancel even if one
was not set up to web post...
What I mean by that is that I'd like the ability to point to a
particular message, and submit a cancel request, along with a
certification "this message was submitted by me, although it was via
mail from my old ID that is defunct" which gets validated by a human who
passes judgement on whether it really is me the author requesting the
cancel. The standard automated way of allowing cancels only with strict
byte for byte identity matches is too restrictive as it completely
disallows cancels of web or mail originated posts.
Note that this does not veer into editorial control because it is only
honoring requests from the original author, not exercising judgement
about what should be edited or removed. The judgement merely is about
the supplied bonafides that the requestor is actually the author.
