How can I delete an old thread?

I'm a moderator, Benny, but I have to tell you that we don't normally remove threads unless there have been zero responses. And there has to be a really good reason before I spend my valuable and unpaid time on such things. I actually made Caulfield rewrite his thread to make it more anonymous, because it had received a number of thoughtful responses. Privacy was his concern, but he has provided a lot of helpful advice and feedback for a number of years, and I felt that we could therefore support him. But I'll be honest, it was a special favor for a valued member of several years.

You can PC me, with the URL of the thread, and the reason you want to delete it. However, I'll be gone the next two days.

Everyone has the ability to delete or edit individual posts for a short time after posting, but I don't know if that's true when starting a new thread.
