Well, is it innocent cluelessness or  contemptful indifference to protocol?

Could you please cancel your posts then?

Don't know if I can cancel the posts once they have been uploaded to the 
server.   I tried to do so, but it may have no affect.  The default 
setting on the new poster was set to 64K, which resulted in the 
multipule thread, I have changed that setting.  As for the bitmap, that 
was an oversight on my part, forgot to convert it to a JPEG for 
compressions sake.

I'm not too keen about those that are one text + image in two separate
postings already, so yeah, that would be great :-)
Hopefully banning a person isn't the thought here and preventing multipart
postings server-side is.

You can, but they still show up for those who have already downloaded them,
so you will recieve no visual indication that they've been cancelled. It
benefits those who come later though =)

Yes your newsreader (MicroPlanet Gravity) definetely allows you to do that. 
Might seem strange, but the program sends a control message telling the 
news server to remove the article from the server (although it might still 
be visible locally in you newsreader).
Just do it!

You can probably cancel a message that you have posted by hilighting that 
message and right clicking the mouse and you may get a context menu that 
contains the cancel option. 

You can only cancel messages that you have posted.
