LOL!! :) Ooops, duh, that's my fault...it should certainly make exceptions
for control messages, shouldn't it. I'll log that as a bug. Thanks for
discovering and reporting.

Cool, good idea. Nice workaround. :)

Apparently not. :) And in theory, it _shouldn't_, because the part that
checks whether the message is a cancel/control message is separate from the
part that checks for .dat content. Each check doesn't [currently] know
about the other.

The web-interface isn't yet too bright about noticing cancelled posts at the
group-summary level, but if you go in and click on the article -- i.e.,
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.cad.dat:50
then it should tell you,
Article 50 does not exist in group lugnet.cad.dat.

p.s. Forgot to set your line length back down to a <80 value...
