Well, I've now fallen foul of this not able to delete thing myself.
I went back and edited my original post, but now the whole thread looks daft and will remain in IW in perpetuity.
I can see why Ziroc has done this, for various reasons stated above, but this is what happened to me (as some of you will already know

)
I was upset last night, and needed a bit of comfort and support (which I received, and was very grateful for

). However, the crisis was over a short while later, and I would really have liked to delete the thing - it was a fairly personal matter, and although I didn't regret posting it, I would have preferred to get rid of it once the matter was dealt with rather than have it visible for everyone to look at and wonder what I was upset about - I have deleted my original text.
It's just a bit embarrassing!
