It rather shows that you are trolling since you are at least vaguely aware
how Cancel messages work, and what they mean, and not only reply regardless
but also deny their significance.

> Cancel messages are purely advisory,

Cancel messages are control messages. A news server may ignore them at own
risk. That does not make them “purely advisory”.

<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5536#section-3.2.3> pp.

> and routinely ignored by the backbone

There is no “backbone”; Usenet is explicitly decentralized. Each news
server administrator can set their own rules regarding to which messages to
accept from which peers, which to keep, and which to distribute to which
peers.

Some news servers now require Cancel messages to be authenticated before
executed, that is, to match the lock-signature of the posting to be
canceled; others (like the one I am using since about 10 years) do not.

> It has been decades since one could expect a cancel to work.

Utter nonsense. That a Cancel message works was the general idea. It was
only after some people abused this feature that some servers decided to
ignore cancels or require authentication.

The Internet draft for lock-signing messages, and cancel messages to match
that signature, is a lot younger than that. And it has expired even though
it is implemented.

<http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/faqs/cancel/>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_message>
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-usefor-cancel-lock-01>
<http://individual.net/faq.php#1.12>

So much for *your* “understanding of Usenet and the applicability of RFCs”.
It is also exemplified by the way you changed the Subject header field
value.

That was 2013-10-28 13:37:03 UTC (about 2 minutes later). To be sure (not
all servers support “Supersedes” either), I sent the corresponding Cancel
message only seconds later.

That was 2013-10-29 01:29:53 UTC, more than 10 hours later. I would pity
you for your slow 20th century newsfeed if it were so.

I will now leave you to your further “misconceptions”, lest you do not waste
more of my precious time. May you die in ignorance. *PLONK*
