    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.

    You /can/, but not every server responds to cancel requests.

    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.

    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.
