in TB, and in novaBBS, is it easy to cancel (delete) a post?

At first, i thought i'd tell others about novaBBS, but
now i'm worried about overcrowding (congestion).

i like how (most of the time), a post from novaBBS gets
propagated within one second.

On novaBBS it's less than easy, it's not possible. Once you send it, it propagates, so if you want to change what you said, post a followup message to correct your mistake.

My servers do not send cancel messages for anything, only NoCeM from i2pn(2).

not even google could "overcrowd" usenet . . . too many servers and
too many users . . . it's a one-way ticket though, because once any
article gets posted and propagated there's simply no way to take it
back . . . some articles might get intercepted, but i wouldn't test
that theory . . . any posted errors can be rectified by corrections

No need for that. Just over-think your messages *before* posting them.

GG's [Delete-Post] button seemed to work pretty well.

---- does TB provide a [Delete-Post] button?

My (our) fear of novaBBS's possible overcrowding
(congestion) seems reasonable, when you consider
these two factors (and there may be more):

1. About 5% of the time, i post from novaBBS and
i have to wait 5 minutes before my post shows
up in novaBBS (due to novaBBS being impacted)

2. Much of the time, fewer than 30 people are
using novaBBS. --- But i'm assuming that the
[users online] figure only includes the
number of registered and logged-in users.

## There are currently 27 users online
## Total messages: 2,299,507

Think before you post.

*LOL*! You will never be able to motivate enough people to congest a NNTP.

That is standard with all the servers I use.
