 * I have removed my wordpress installations from my websites. I understand that
   posts cannot be deleted. However the thing that I would like to is remove/change
   my username and remove any website links in my posts. The reason being that I
   will be switching to my own html files and I don’t want the public to know that
   the guy running my site and the guy with the same name on wordpress are same 
   person. When they search my site I don’t want them to come across the posts here.

 * When a post is made and people contribute answers to an issue, that then becomes
   part of the community resource for others to benefit from. Deleting posts removes
   this added value. **Forum topics will only be edited or deleted if they represent
   a valid legal, security, or safety concern.**
