you have admin privilege for the news server, and the wiki, afaik, and, guessing
here, for the main website.

# JH 21.7 2208
I don't have admin privileges for the news server or the wiki (any more).

# jr 21.7 2340
can you even point to any ng post in the last, uh, four years or so, where you,
or a member of the mysterious TAG, has asked for help with anything?

# jr 22.7 1630
so my understanding of NNTP is that once a post has "gone through", ...
therefore, without admin privileges (or an indebted djinn) you, as "another end
user", ought not to have been able to withdraw your post (with haste :-)).

# JH 22.7 1727
Your understanding of NNTP is incorrect.  No admin privileges are needed  to
cancel your own posts or supersede them.  It's a common thing to do in the
USENET world.

# JH 22.7 2156
I await your apology for insinuating that I lied to you about my role in the
project.

# JH 23.7 1513
Your insinuation that I was lying about my involvement in the project  based on
your total lack of comprehension as to how NNTP works is
completely separate from...

# JH 23.7 2345
I know that you know, deep down, that you behaved badly - in name-calling and in
calling me a liar in public about my role in the project.


so those are the key sentences from the relevant posts.  I've done the legwork,
now you do your bit.  not that it matters.  you, I suspect (and said before),
are playing some kind of game (unfortunately; this thread really isn't helped by
some .. drama queen getting over-emotional).  so, I'll be brushing off the muddy
bits from my sleeves now, because I have better use for my time than to
entertain a [insert your expletive of choice here].
