If I'd known it would have this effect, I probably wouldn't have deleted the posts. It's just one of those things that I do sometimes, not thinking that it might have consequences for other people. I do that sometimes, which is something else I need to work on, paying more attention to how my behavior affects other people around me.
But I do think that, if, as Cynthetiq suggests, those posts had value because they represented my honest feelings at the time I wrote them, then so to does my deleting them the next day represent my honest feelings at the time that I deleted them. They were little more than a confused mess anyway, and the posts to which I was responding are all still there, and I think that those are going to be far more valuable in the long run than the confused mess I made of things in what I wrote in response.
Anyway, once again, I apologize for doing that. I had no idea anybody would care one way or another.
