Nope, in Gravity he'll find "cancel Article" as the very last Option in
the "Article" menu.

list anymore)...so I assume it is gone....
Sorry for all the headache folks.....new software, just when ya think

Of course we can. The news server software allows for banning anyone.
As of actually doing it, no, I don't think it would ever happen. Makes
no sense to punish a simple mistake that harshly. I would rather, as I
am glad the community has already done, point out the mistake and the
way to correct it.
>This Bruce Johnson person is way out of control!
Nope. Bruce apologized sincerely, canceled the posts (I only see one)
and corrected his newsreader settings. Things are under control now :)
