Yikes! The danger of a slight familiarity with a country's wines- I'm not even in right region - that would make one Kamptal and one Wachau? Can't edit here, but hopefully everyone sees your response. Thanks!

Right.

No "supersede" function with your newsreader?

No problem!

It isn't quite fair, is it? And I would say that you have a far greater familiarity than most, Dale!

Michael, Many news servers no longer honor either supercedes or cancels because of widespread abuse. These days, you're probably better off just replying to your own message with the correction should you need to correct yourself.

super_s_edes

Really? Never heard of anything like that. My newsreader doesn't offer the possibility to supersede or cancel anything else than my own postings.

Hmmm. I do it quite frequently (although rarely in this group) without any problem.

Salut/Hi Michael Pronay,

According to my spell checker both spellings are correct - to my amazement. I was convinced the correct spelling is supercede. Given that both are permissable, I nevertheless tend towards Mark's spelling as the root verb is "cede" from the Latin verb cedere - to give up.

Alas, Ian, your spell checker made the same mistake that I did. Supersede is indeed the one and only correct spelling (FWIW, from the Latin super + sedere, to "sit above", a different etymology). The apparent resemblance to intercede [from L. cedere, meaning in this instance to pass] is misleading in this case.
