Without that assurance, we'd probably see a lot less original content posted.
Yes, the power to delete, not just here but everywhere is a great relief to me and I've exercised that power countless times. You grow. Your opinions change. You become a better speller, debater. Your relationships change. And so on and so on. Maybe what you post here should stay here, but then everything is knowable to the powers that be so it's not like Vegas. There are no secrets on the net..
