Thanks again,

OK Rez well at least you are a newbie who bothered to register
One of the advantages of being a member is that unlike other message boards such as the Newsgroup alt.music.lightfoot... http://www.newsgroup.shorturl.com

if you make a bog of a new topic or any posting you can simply click on the second from the right icon above your message
(if you mouse over it you will see that it is entitled "edit/delete message"
Then if you click on it you will then get your original typed screed up to edit or check the box that is annotated
"Delete? To delete this post, check this box.
Note: deleting this post will result in the deletion of the entire topic, since this post is the first post in the topic."
So you can either edit your posting or remove it together with all replies that have so far been made.
TIP
If like me you are prone to mis-type and are editing for that reason then each time you edit a new message saying that you have edited the posting gets appended.
If you need to re-edit as I sometimes do you can then remove the damning evidence of earlier editings by simply deleting the existing edited note(s) at the bottom

Why is abbreviation such a long word?

Why is there an expiration date on my sour cream container?

Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
