True, canceling wouldn't work unless you get control.cancel. Spam aside for
a second, I don't think ignoring cancels is very bad. People should assume
that once they hit "post", it's public, like it or not. But then, there's
the issue of spam -- there's a lot of it. How would you be getting your RTL
feed? If your upstream provider is relatively clean, you should be okay.
