certainly. however, I expect my comments to be, for most practical purposes, gone from public observation. I trust the moderators, but do not trust all post authors, especially when a post is inflammatory, I post something inflammatory before thinking it through, and then rapidly delete it—it’s important to me that I be able to back out of a conversation like that before it’s had significant impact. I can be a bit pointlessly fiery, especially in the comments of the author who I quoted originally, and I rely on delete as a second pass in those situations.
