I agree with your perspective on deletion and if not for the technical problem I ran into, I would have simply moved this post to the Discussion area. I only deleted the post after trying several approaches to gaining edit access.
When I pick this topic up on Discussion I’ll certainly link to the deleted post, not ideal, but as you say, it is a compromise.
I know that. Still, given the choice between deleting it and creating a similar post elsewhere without the original post’s comments, or leaving the original post alone, I’d’ve preferred to see the latter.
