Hi, David:

No, that post is perfectly alright, please leave it as is.

The one I wanted deleted was a Draft I was creating but my mistake, I hit the "Post" button instead of the "Preview" button.

I then tried to delete the newly created thread but even though I checked the checkbox and hit the "Delete now" button (and no replies existed at that time, I realized my error immediately), it said that I couldn't and wouldn't delete it no matter how many times I tried (about four).

Fortunately some moderator listened to my plea and deleted it within a few hours or less, so the post I wanted deleted actually was, case closed.

However, you might want to have a look at the deletion mechanism because it might be the case that there's some bug or misconfiguration (permissions and such).

Thank you very much for your reply.
Regards.
