Why can't we delete?
I posted a dumb question that I answered myself maybe 5 minutes later. So Why is my thread now a lame duck, rather than just deleted by me? So why can't we delete our own threads?
Here it is if any of you moderators care to delete:

That's the long and short of it.
We'd have similar problems in that case. Say, for example, MaDTooL starts a flame thread that actually develops into an interesting discussion. If he doesn't like where the discussion is going, Click! the thread is gone. Can you see how that could disrupt the forums?
