I see the reasoning behind this, but I don't think it's necessary. Note that
SMTP & NNTP messages *cannot* be cancelled once they've been authorised (via
either authentication method) - the exact same functionality can be obtained
by using the preview button on the web interface, just consider "preview" as
equivalent to initial post, "post" is equivalent to "authorise". The only
difference is that web-posters aren't *forced* to use this method.
Interestingly, one of my other favourite message boards, Slashdot, only
allows posting articles via the web, and *does* force at least one preview
before allowing you to submit the article. Maybe Lugnet should also do this.
Note that further changes can be made, and you're not forced to preview
again, so it's not perfect.
This highlights the point about being able to edit your post during
authentication, but that's been brought up elsewhere
