Why cant we delete our OWN double Postings?

please don't worry if it happens to you. we'd rather you left it alone than rush in to delete the words in the extra post.
when they're left alone, we all know what happened. when we encounter self-edited posts that leave nothing but blank space, it looks a lot more strange than two of the same.
we fix the ones we find. we don't worry about the ones we miss. life's too short. :lol:

I think I have done it twice this week. I believe it is because I hit the back arrow button got distracted, saw the message and thought I hadn't hit send. I hit send and there it is, same message posted twice.
