Why cant we delete our OWN double Postings?

And then the posts go wild all over again because of that.
So, the simple solution on a lot of message boards? No deleting except by administrators or moderators.

Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is PatriceJ.
I am a member of the OOOPS!-I-Hit-Send-Twice! Club.
I have renewed my membership more often that i care to admit.
No matter. I know I am in very good company. The Club Meetings are a blast.
of course ... they take twice as long as normal meetings because we constantly repeat ourselves. :lol: :lol: :lol:
