How come the moderator on this Newsgroup doesn't kill the posts that have
nothing to due with the topic of this newsgroup?

Theres is no moderator.  There are only a few moderated groups and Im
not even sure if they are still alive. THey tend to be dead and die
out. No one likes the delay of seeing posts and a moderator isnt going
to sit around and monitor messages 24/7.

Because the name of this newsgroup does NOT end with ".mod" (for
moderated).  It is a wide open group where anyone can say anything.
You'll need a thick skin on your ego to survive in the open.

Also, some NNTP servers accept and honor "cancels" while others do not.

Would yours have been killed? Kidding aside, this is one of the cleaner
groups.
