Well why not click on More options and delete the thread

Because he can't reach your keyboard?


Because it deletes the thread only on your own computer and not from the
hundreds of servers that distribute it over the Usenet. There are
protocols that can remove an article but I guess that most ISPs have now
disabled this functionality due to mass abuse in the past (i.e. those
wanting to disrupt the Usenet sending out a cancel notice for every
legitimate article posted)
