If you didn't write an article, you can still delete it on your machine
if you are the netnews administrator, but you can't delete it on other
people's machines.  This seems fairly reasonable to me.  As for your
"non-privileged root":  if you log in as root on UNIX you can do *anything*;
that is the whole point of a root login.  If somebody just wants to read
news they can do it without being logged in as root.
