OK fair enough, maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. I can see reasons for an author not to be able to delete his own posts or in its entirety either, but we should be able to at least modify the Original subject line without having to create a new post then pending moderator approval. If I'm selling something for $100 and everyone's seen the post, generally they are probably not going to read it again, but I should be able to put a lower price in the subject line to attract attention to it again..
