Not wishing to sound dunny, but has anybody else seen your messages appear?

Seems strange that only your posts (AFAIK) are being deleted...

How can people delete your messages? A "CANCEL" message is more than
likely ignored by most news servers or isn'r propogated like other
messges, and Google will only remove messages from it's own service.

Seems more likely that the problem is with your own news server.

Heather, when you say your messages are getting deleted, do you see a
"Message is no longer available on the server" error message come up?

As that's the actual news server that's deleted your message, no one person
in particular. It's called retention, ISPs generally only retain newsgroup
postings for a certain number of days, otherwise they would quickly run out
of space. It happens to everyone (pretty much), some news servers retain
messages a lot longer than others though.
