Ug, that's kinda gross. I think the cleanest way is what someone suggested
earlier: When you request that a post be cancelled, the server simply send
a confirmation e-mail to the person who posted the message. If they get the
e-mail, it proves they're who they say there are. From there, they go to a
web-page to confirm the deletion. True, someone who's not you could cause
you to be sent a bunch of really annoying confirmation-request messages via
email, but it's no more dangerous than what's there now for signing up for
news by mail.
