Yes, not proud of the post. And it took him only
about two minutes to decide to delete it. (Or maybe
less, if he had to go look up the procedure first).

Well, obviously he was embarrassed by the whole
sequence.

I kinda doubt he would have lied if he had realized
the deletion could be traced (and would be traced,
and the trace made public).
I feel a little bad about the whole thing because
I was the one who announced that it had been
deleted; I had gone back to check the context and
found it was gone. If I hadn't done that, he
wouldn't have been put in the position of feeling
he had to lie. (Again, NOT excusing him; he could
have just said, "Yes, I realized it was inappropriate
after I sent it, so I deleted it, but it had already
gone out." And folks would, I hope, have respected
him for that.)
