To XiXiDu: please stop deleting your comments, it distorts the flow of discussion. Take full ownership of your mistakes, it won't actually hurt you here, and associated emotions could drive you more to improve in the future.

Take full ownership of your mistakes, it won't actually hurt you here...

You should know that I am doing that quite often. As I said in the other reply, I deleted them shortly after I posted them when I noticed that they didn't add anything valuable. I saw no replies when I deleted them. It was not my intention to disrupt the discussion.

I would find them useful if they came with an EDIT: appendix explaining how they were worthless and how you came to realize their lack of worth; as Quirrel says, learn to lose.

Alright, I'll refrain from deleting from now on and instead edit to add a note.

I've been assuming strikethrough like Reddit has is on the list of minor features to add eventually, incidentally.

I disapprove of the other instances for the same reasons.

I deleted my comments before there have been any replies to them. Have you opened them up in tabs shortly after I posted them?

Yes. You should anticipate this possibility and plan accordingly.
