Then why is there a "Delete post" option.

'Cuz google groups is a web interface, primarily.

But, even if they do honor 'Cancel' on their own servers, usenet
postings are distributed to all servers so once it's gone, it's gone and
exists on and will continue to be distributed to all other usenet
servers that monitor the particular group so it's futile even if one or
two do.

The upshot is usenet is not a user web forum.
