I do.  It's handy to be able to see who's cancelling what in the global
groups, as I cover some local hierachies where we get a number of the
same spams.  Simply knowing whether a cancel was $alz convention or not
can be handy.  Of course, if it would be a pain to code, I can still
look them up the old-fashioned way.
