    Why can't people use apostrophes correctly? I'll forgive the spelling mistake because the letter s is beside the letter a.

    Because you'd be deleting other people's posts..

    If the OP feels that one of their threads is worthy of deletion, perhaps they need to consider if it was worthy of starting it in the first place.

    I've come across disappeared posts lately, is it possible to delete your own?

    If someone writes something that they regret or puts something in the wrong forum the quickest way around it is to edit the title and change the subject.

    They would want to be very quick at doing this it in AH. :p

    Are you sure? We could use a grammar Nazi around these parts.

    I had actually written underneath "yes, I said forgive. For I am your grammar lord, master and God." but I decided to delete it.

    I figured I'd just go with an annoying post instead.

    There's a 48 hour time limit on editing, and by extension deleting a post.
