One is allowed to cancel one's posts (some newsreaders support this  
feature, for example in Opera, you go to your sent items, and right click  
on a sent message and there is a "Cancel Post" option).  Jonathan's  
newsreader must have downloaded the message before Andrei retracted it.   
If my newsreader is running (which it was) when a canceled post goes  
through, I get a header, but no message, because the message is not  
downloaded until I click on it (which is what I got for this post).

Not joining the discussion, but I just wanted to clarify to avoid any  
thoughts of conspiracy ;)
