THIS IS NOT A SUBMISSION — rather — it is an attempt to communicate according to Slashdot policy as defined in the Slashdot FAQ "Where do I submit corrections or updates to previous stories?"

Dear Editors,
On 007-03-24 18:27:58 I submitted "New Internet to be a soulless beast?" (IT,The Internet) (pending)
In this submission, the first line was a note directed only to the editors . It said:
[To the editors — REMOVE THIS LINE — and please cancel my previous submission 2007-03-16 20:15:28 The Internet is Broken! (IT,The Internet) (pending) on the same subject as my thinking and research has evolved considerably since then.]
It appears that nobody as much as glanced at my request. My new submission ended up in the Firehose with the above line included — and no action taken on my request to cancel my previous submission. Certainly the inadvertent inclusion of this line adversely affected the flow of my submission when reading it.
I beg of you to cancel the previous submission — specifically 2007-03-16 20:15:28 The Internet is Broken! (IT,The Internet) (pending), because in it I make some substantial criticisms of Stanford University without the necessary research to back me up.
After writing the submission I want canceled, I did a great deal of research and wrote the blog "The Internet is Broken!" that forms the bases of my new submission and contains many links to much new material never before vetted on Slashdot.
My submissions are follow ups to a previous Slashdot story "Researchers Scheming to Rebuild Internet From Scratch"
Please drop me a note confirming that you have indeed removed the requested line from the submission On 007-03-24 18:27:58 I submitted "New Internet to be a soulless beast?" (IT,The Internet) (pending) and that you have canceled 2007-03-16 20:15:28 The Internet is Broken! (IT,The Internet) (pending).
Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
