Ok so I was nicely asked to make it so that the from thing had MY name and not my husbands. Well we tried and the option is either grayed out and unchangeable or when other ways were tried our system shut down and we were locked out of the computers (...)

BTW, here's an example of a superseded article: news://lugnet.com/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 (Normally, I would have superseded my original article to add this comment, but now that it doesn't work, I'll post a followup in stead...)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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) Actually, you're not supposed to post sales announcements in any group but .market.buy-sell-trade, per the TOS.

Hi, Yes that is my real name :-) I received your update request on the 24th of July, and updated your (and other's) links on the 31st. This was sent off to be changed on the Main site. I suspect that is slipped through the email cracks. I am (...) (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
