If you can find the message-IDs of the threads, you can issue "ctlinnd
cancel <messageid>" commands for each message. This won't create a
cancel message, but will cause the server to act as if it had received
one for that message-ID.
One quick&dirty way to get the message-IDs would be to telnet to the
nntp port, issue an XOVER command, and grep the results for the
offending subject line. Awk/perl and ctlinnd should do the rest.
