It's easy to do on the Web site (not sure about how to do it if you get the posts by email). On the Web site, right below the thread title at the top are two buttons, Reply and Delete (Delete shows up only for your own posts). Click on Delete. You'll be asked to verify the deletion; click OK. > And even if I did I don't see need to delete a photo that > has travelled the world during the last 48 hours showing the > price for The Dolly Llama's inability to free his country. I could have sworn I just pointed out that your opinion pro or con his self-immolation was irrelevant, as was the fact that it's been published elsewhere. It's the context that matters. If you'd posted it for the purpose of making a point about the Dalai Lama or Tibet or self-immolation, that would have been fine. To post it for the sake of taking a cheap shot at Barry is detestable, no matter how much Barry may deserve your contempt. It won't bother him anyway; he'll just use it to take his own cheap shots at you and TMers in general. It's the trivialization of this man's act that's so offensive. Nabby, that post does you no credit, nor does your argument.
