Hmmmmmmmm! Now let's see?

When I made a post that I thought later could be misinterpreted, I went to delete it but couldn't so I edited it and only left the word "Deleted" and saved that. The end result was the same only some might have thought Ryan might have deleted it.
The outcome I suspect Ryan was after is to make sure things are nice right from the outset. OK by me!

Because something you write might be an error all together and you need to delete or you decide you don't want to share if you are not part of FB anymore...that is why

Until recently you could delete posts other then the ones you started.

Sometimes you miss an answer in the thread, repost the solution and want to delete your duplicate. Nothing wrong with that.

It is possible that a member here gets pissed off and decides to delete all of their posts including ones with proper answers to proper questions and links to good information. With no delete option the information stays with the site. Just an idea as to why the option would be "deleted".

All my quotes and posts are being compiled into a novel. Coming soon to a book store near you, "Barn Quotes and Posts" by 31 Model A.

Any publication lawyers here? There might be a clause that states, what's written on my public forum is my property. Something to ponder!!!

The absence of a delete function is silly. It does not want to make me post more carefully, it makes me want to post less. I cannot think of a single other website I am on that doesn't allow me to delete my own posts. As Synchro909 pointed out. You can effectively delete a post by editing it down to gibberish, but what a pain. So, what's up, Ryan?

[Chippy Minton]

With the edit function on this site nobody should need a delete button. It's good practise to proofread your posts before committing them anyway.

TOO bad it's NOT that way!

Proof reading does not equal remorse. Besides, if you can edit all of the content out of a post, why not just be able to delete it? Come on, that's a silly dysfunction.

Remorse? What on earth are you going on about? This is a forum for people who own or are interested in old cars, there's nothing confidential, special or even unique about the help, advice and opinions given. If people are getting so upset that they want to throw their toys out of the cot, stop anyone else kicking their ball and delete the help they have freely offered are you sure that they are mature enough to be using the Internet on their own?

31 Model A... I just did a google on the interweb regarding your "bear" question, apparently bears "do" relieve themselves in the woods. I don't know this for fact, just hoping to answer part one, of your two part question. As for the cat question I will continue my research.. Lol Jeff

.............I have no fire protection here or I would have asked a fireman about the second question but I do see reports on the TV where cats are rescued from trees now and then. I guess they can climb trees or someone throws them up there!!!
