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?

Um. All good points that I hadn't thought of! But I still want to be able to delete double posts..... (Happens when I hit quote instead of edit, and end up posting a second post that is different to the first, because I've edited it. So I want to keep version 2, but lose version 1.
