That is an older mindset. CJtheTrader there is talking about deleting their OP an hour after they posted it. WTF Baron!?! Someone creates a thread they regret? They should be able to delete it within a day or two. Not all regretful threads are trading threads where they are "trying to cheat and seem they are better traders than the OP." WTF.
So you're saying if someone creates a thread, that person should have the option of deleting the entire thread a day or two later for whatever reason they want, thereby destroying the time and effort that other members put into their replies?
*rubs temples* Yes, sir. The time and effort the respondents put into their replies can be waved off. It's some typing on a keyboard. WTF. Baron, I wanna' come down there and talk some sense into you. :-(
Go back into your corner and sulk, stout yeoman. Oy! And by the way, Poopy...You notice how over the years, I never attached some kitchy nickname to fit you, like a moniker? You were always Dest, or Poopy. Get over your self-realized humor, because it is old. "Teacher teacher, that bad person over there was mean to me, so I will make up names for them!" Grow up, man.
