You can only delete them on your computer, not from the newsgroup itself.
They are there for about 90 days.

I accidently activated this newsgroup responding to a welcome OE letter and
find it to have a lot of useful info..I am wondering why I can not delete
the posts? Do they reside externally to my computer??? I am so new, new ,
and none of my computer friends use or have used newsgroups.....thanks for
helping give me some basic info here.....Yolanda
