Not that I actually have a vote, but after living through this debacle, I think I've changed my mind about deletability of posts. I'm beginning to believe that it would be preferable, that after a certain period of time, for posts to become uneditable and undeletable. Prospective forum members should give due consideration to the consequences of contributing to the forums in advance. And should they decide to contribute, they should be aware that their contributions will become part of a permanent record, after a reasonable period of time (perhaps a few days) allowed for correction of typos, etc. The integrity of the forums should trump a user's ability to corrupt threads by editing or deleting their posts, for whatever reason, later.
