If you think THAT'S something, I have seen a LOT of edited (to "...." or the like) posts by current tubenetters in old threads. Sometimes it appears as though a whole year or so has been deleted, sometimes it seems they got bested and didn't like it, and yet other times it seems as if they were just being jerks and didn't want "prospective employers,...." to look them up and see what a jerk they are.

I don't get it. You do this often. Why delete your contributions to this community?

Some people, when presented with persuasive refutations of their statements, don't want to leave the evidence of their discomfiture. I prefer to leave my own silly posts there because they reflect what at least one person is thinking that deserved correction, and that correction may need that context when reviewed by posterity (not that anyone who needs to seems to be able to search Tubenet). But doing so isn't always comfortable.
