Description
When you start a new thread, you cannot cancel your own (root) message until all replies to it are cancelled.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Post a new message.
2) Add a reply to it.
3) Cancel your original (root) post.
4) Delete/reload complete group.

All post you've just made are still there.

5) Cancel your reply
6) Cancel your original (root) post.
7) Delete/reload complete group.

Now everything is gone.

The problem is that when you have replies from others, which you can't cancel, you'll never be able to cancel you own original (root) post.

Other posts you made in the middle of an existing thread can be cancelled without any problems, also threads you started which didn't recieve a reply so far can be cancelled.
Workarounds
Ask somebody with enough "power" to cancel your message ;-)
