Actually, I disagree. Whenever someone posts to a large site such as CNN, NBC, or the like, that site owns anything they submit, much like a letter to the editor. Likewise, I think anything posted in a forum I or anyone else owns should "belong" to that forum owner insomuch as they forum owner has the right to determine if it should remain posted or deleted, not the original poster. Once it's out there, it's out there. I do agree the posters should be able to edit individual posts, but a blanket deletion of all posts would leave gaping holes in the archives of an active site. I respectfully disagree with you on this.
