There is a 350 pound rat at Muddy Lago.

It's going to require a big rat trap.

What newsgroup was it supposed to be in? Also, can't you cancel your posts?

The particular original post has a Cancel-Lock on it.

https://web.archive.org/web/20151030....26_Cancel-Key

Nur wenige Newsreader implementieren Cancel-Lock:

Gnus
slrn
tin

But by the time you figure it out, it's likely pretty ineffective.

In a GUI menu, you have no assurance what method it is using.

That is something people do not seem to get. Once you put something
online is is there forever and available to any one who wants it. It
does not matter if it is Ancestry Facebook, a forum or newsgroup.

Some people think they can protect pictures or document images with the
site provided software. However If it can be see seen on your screen,
it is yours to take, regardless of what you are told by the site.

The internet is only about 25 years old, maybe in another 25 people will
learn this.

Nah. The next step is hardwired web connections directly to the brain,

From your point-of-view, it is unusable today.

A lot of people seem to assume the internet is nothing but www.

Telnet and email (and other stuff) are a lot older than that.

Yup, I used 'email' before the term even existed [1], in the very
early 70s.

[1] Many sources *imply* that the term 'email' was used by the alleged
inventor (Ray Tomlinson) in 1971, but AFAIK that is just *current* use
of the word/term 'email' to describe what happened then. I don't know of
any actual *proof* that the term 'email' (any spelling) was actually
used at the time.

Not to mention that calling ARPANET "The internet" (note "The") is
falsifying/rewriting history.

More realistically, "The Internet" exists only after TCP/IP was
implemented, i.e after 1978, i.e at most 41 years, not 50.
