In article <2369@deimos.cis.ksu.edu> I posted a newgroup for
gnu.misc.discuss. It went out with a Distribution: of "gnu" instead
of "ksu" (the local ORGDISTRIB).
Oops. How rude of me.
I've canceled it. Hopefully it won't do more than raise a few eyebrows.

You should better issue a rmgroup, because a cancel doesn't have any effect on already arrived newgroup messages. Only I don't read them in control anymore... -- -- ###### Jos Vos ###### Internet jos@idca.tds.philips.nl ###### -- ###### ###### UUCP ...!mcvax!philapd!jos ######

I don't think I'll issue a rmgroup. That might do more than raise a few eyebrows. Oh, and a cancel does have an effect on already-processed control messages (like a newgroup) -- it prevents its further spread. I think the newgroup got to you via a quicker route.
