I think we have that setup so people can't claim we are deleting our posts after god knows how long, like they had done in the past.  I remember quiet a few arguments with some people that had no intelligence to speak of that kept accusing me of deleting my posts, and theirs! lol

    Ah.  I can see the argument in that.  Accusing YOU of deleting THEIRS, though, is comical, to say the least.  :smileyvery-happy:

     

    If they had it set up right, though, you could only delete your post before someone replied to it.  Once they did you couldn't.  Of course, that's the way the other one was set up, and people still made their accusations.  LOL.

      Psst. You have an hour from posting to go back and edit.

        Edit, yes, but not delete. So the only choice is to remove all the content from the post and leave the post up.

    C0RR0SIVE, that's a very good reason and I could live with the lack of post deletion if this is why.
