From: Marianne McCann I know I'm bein bad an introducing an actual question here, but...
I went back and forth about a post earlier, and eventually posted it, then deleted it when I realized no one wanted to read that stuff anyway. Now I'm startig to think I shoulda jes left it.
How does everyone else feel? I know Pep deletes daily, but what about everyone else? Do you ever delete your posts? I try to keep my edits down to spelling corrections or clarifications. I'm not a fan of rewriting history - that is, once it's been replied to at any rate. EDITED TO ADD: (another thing I'll do) But I never delete posts unless it's *right* away. My mind was clearly wandering there... |

Honestly no- never- not here and nowhere else- there is an absolute crap load of stuff online written by me in the 20 odd years I have been on-line. I will clarify, expound, apologize, revel or eat crow as the future demands- but nope- it's all out there adding to the detritus and flotsam.

I will edit spellings etc, and if I edit anything major I will normally put a note saying it was edited, but I can't actually rememeber deleting a whole post. I don't think I'd have a problem with people deleting, but only if noone has already started talking about it, or if there is little chance it has been read. There is no point (that I can see) in deleting a post that has already kickstarted a convo or that someone has already quoted.

I will delete soon after a post if I feel that it would be totally misconstrued as to what I was trying to say. In my case, almost exclusively due to an attempt at humor that I feel will not be taken that way.

From: Damien1 Thorne Good Morning Threadies.   Snowdrops by Louise Gluck Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know what despair is; then winter should have meaning for you. I did not expect to survive, earth suppressing me. I didn't expect to waken again, to feel in damp earth my body able to respond again, remembering after so long how to open again in the cold light of earliest spring-- afraid, yes, but among you again crying yes risk joy in the raw wind of the new world. At first I thought the pic was trillium, but it is snowdrops... Lovely, too. One of my favorite poems by Louise Gluck is Trillium from The Wild Iris. Course i love Snowdrops, too. I can't find Trillium on the web, and don't have the book here at work... and my memory is not working right now... Maybe another time, I'll share Trillium with you.

I can't find Trillium on the web, and don't have the book here at work... and my memory is not working right now... Maybe another time, I'll share Trillium with you. by Louise Glück When I woke up I was in a forest. The dark seemed natural, the sky through the pine trees thick with many lights. I knew nothing; I could do nothing but see. And as I watched, all the lights of heaven faded to make a single thing, a fire burning through the cool firs. Then it wasn't possible any longer to stare at heaven and not be destroyed. Are there souls that need death's presence, as I require protection? I think if I speak long enough I will answer that question, I will see whatever they see, a ladder reaching through the firs, whatever calls them to exchange their lives— Think what I understand already. I woke up ignorant in a forest; only a moment ago, I didn't know my voice if one were given to me would be so full of grief, my sentences like cries strung together. I didn't even know I felt grief until that word came, until I felt rain streaming from me. Louise Glück, “Trillium" from The Wild Iris. Copyright ©1992 by Louise Glück.

From: Marianne McCann ... I know Pep deletes daily, but what about everyone else? Pep could save so much time if he simply refrained from making the posts in the first place. Be efficient. Get right to the end result.
