---+ Canceling Course News Posts (draft)

Course accounts are able to cancel news articles with the =cancel-news= script.  

   * articles may be canceled from the command-line by specifying the article number.
   * articles may be canceled by piping the offending article (at least the headers) into cancel-news.

   * the script will display the entire article in a pager (hit q to only show the first page).
   * the user is normally required to confirm the cancellation with a =Y= or =y= followed by carriage-return.

<pre>
student.cs$ cancel-news -h
Usage: cancel-news [options] <article number>
  -or- cat article | cancel-test.py [options]
  Must be run by course account user. -h for help.

Options:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  -d, --dry-run  don't do the cancel, do everything up to that point.
  -f, --force    don't display article or require confirmation. Only displays
                 errors (to STDERR).
