Why Oh Why

I have on a number of occasions Deleted User my own posts using the edit button 

Can you do that?  Doesn't it leave an empty box?  I'm just going to try it now!

I can edit it, but if I try to post an 'empty box' it just comes up 'Error post does not validate'.

That has happened to me as well ValDa...

.

I thought I had done that before now. Suppose the answer is just to leave a full stop, no-one would notice!

All you need do is change your intended message to something like Edit, then post that. Most on CT will understand what you've done. Or add a smilie. 

Edit, see what you've done, so sorted, I guess.

sometimes I post something I later regret!

haven't we all.

Valda,  I  think  that  happens  whe  you  are  happily  editing  but  run  out  of  time  --  I  think  you  only  get  about  8  or  10  mins  and  thats  not  a  lot  if  the  post  is  complex  and  you  need  to  think  over-long !?
