There is a feature that I often wish for when I send mailings to Nav-L. It's some sort of "Unsend" button. Many of you (but perhaps none more than me) may recognise the sinking feeling that you get when you suddenly realise that you have put something particularly daft into a posting, that's by now winging its way to Nav-L members all around the World. It does little good to bite off the end of your mousefinger. Perhaps all that's needed is to transmit an otherwise identical, but inverse, message, with ones where there were zeros, and zeros where there were ones, so that when summed with the original posting they both mutually annihilate. A minor technical problem; no more than that...
