   My apologies, that's exactly what I did.   
      
   I realized I had the wrong group within about a minute of posting, so   
   I canceled it at n.i.n, then refreshed my copy of the article   
   headers. My article didn't appear. That usually means that the cancel   
   was successful and n.i.n didn't propagate the article, but this time   
   that obviously was not the case.
