I don't think so. Posting to three groups is hardly a rejectable offence.

The actual reason is that Tran cancels each of his messages reasonably
soon after he posts it (probably at the same time he posts the next one,
i.e. a day later). So if messages pile up anywhere between
news.alcyone.com and your newsreader (e.g. if your server takes a daily
feed from the next one upstream, or if you read Usenet less than once a
day), the cancellation message will catch up with the original and you
won't get to see it.
