On the other hand, it's a not a very good feature IMO for different reasons, one of them to give someone the opportunity to delete posts from the middle of a discussion, making it almost impossible to follow for outsiders if those particular posts weren't quoted. Trolls can use the feature to cover up their tracks before the mods arrive and give them a proper spanking. Spammers can use the feature to secretly work on their post count. And so on. 
...But oh well, who am I to say anything about this?

Now, that's something I didn't really think of. But then, I'm honest and wouldn't pull stunts like trolls and major spammers do, so I wouldn't have though about it!
Still, it's very annoying for those of us who ARE honest and just want to delete an 'oops' or take back something we shouldn't have really posted.
But, either way, we'll adapt.
