Ok, it appears that if you post multiple messages in the same thread, you can delete the newest post. You can't delete older posts until you delete the newest post first.

If that applies to posts provided by others, it would limit the abiltiy to delete what a reader has posted to only his most recent post. Does it work that way? If so, that solves the problem of an individual destroying a thread by removing all his/her comments. If all of the posts from an individual can be deleted, so long as it's last in first out, we still have the same problem, but it was NEVER been a problem until spro did large edits. He is no longer active on the board.

Well done, Marty.
