I think if Dr. Bob hesitates to delete posts himself, he would be extremely unlikely to allow us to delete our own.
I also think it would lead to problems. Someone could post something provocative, wait for a response, then delete the original post. This would lead the responding poster to look bad, and leave everyone generally confused. For the most part, I agree with Dr. Bob's policy of preserving threads intact.
I just think exceptions should be made, and I think Dr. Bob's compromise of allowing the people involved on this thread to request deletion of certain information is a fair one.
