| Suz & Todd, Have you seen messages, sometimes several hours old, jumping up the newsgroup hierarchy in the last day or so? Maybe I'm completely off my rocker, but I believe I've seen this happen at least three times now, in different groups and (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) I haven't seen this, and it doesn't sound probable. Perhaps Rico's clock was set incorrectly on his newsreader's machine? That could confuse the date display. (...) I see one -- which Suzanne posted and cancelled herself and reposted. Which do (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) I thought that too...but even that, or re-confirming the message via e-mail (if I'm understanding that right, haven't used it myself...it seems like a message can be confirmed more than once...I've seen several instances where someone confirms (...)

| | | | | Re: Possible problem/bug

| (...) OK, I think I see the confusion now...there are two threads, similar but differrent. Suzanne started a first one and then canceled her message, and then started a new one about a half hour later. So what you saw that looked like it disappeared (...)

| (...) If we are talking bugs here in the lugnet.robotics area that mailing list went nuts and duplicated messages already on the list. I started getting these "you posted via the mailing list, see all these other ways of posting". I've never used (...) (23 years ago, 28-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) I canceled my original post about Fibblesnork because, in it, I had typed the URL, causing a link to the site, which I did not want. All within a short amount of time: there was one follow up, I e-mailed the poster notifying him I wanted to (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) This is an unfortunate side effect of the "no edit, only cancel" policy here... but this side effect is, I think, massively drowned out by the positive effects of not being able to revise your words in a way that makes replies inconsistent. (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) I used to be able to use Supersedes to change my articles, but I haven't been able to do that anymore. I don't know if it is a policy change or a bug. Superseding is more or less the same as canceling an article and posting a new one, but it (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) Speculating: I suspect it was a policy change because the effect of Supersede on the historical record is that you changed a particular article at the very point in the thread where it previously was, which is in effect an edit. Mail (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) No, that is not true. Superseding is technically mostly the same as canceling and reposting the article. The new article gets a new Message-ID and a new article number. It's not like editing an article at all. I've used Supersedes on LUGNET a (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

| BTW, here's an example of a superseded article: news://lugnet.com/<m...de.uio.no> (Normally, I would have superseded my original article to add this comment, but now that it doesn't work, I'll post a followup in stead...) Fredrik (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
