how come we're not allowed to delete things we've posted? like clear history or something?

You can edit/delete, for about an hour after you have posted something. Then it's logged history, with a life of its own.

I know huh. But there may be legal reasons also, someone might tell us. I find the old posts mighty handy if you want to figure someone out :-)

I don't know about any legal reasons, but the main reason is so that threads make sense. In other words, we won't want a person coming back days or weeks later and completely editing his/her original message. We do want to give everybody some window for changing their minds, though, and we believe we do that.
