I believe the reason we do this is if you delete your own post (thread you've started) you will also kill every single reply that has been added to the thread.
Basically once a thread takes off it has a life of its own and would be unfair for the starter to arbitrarily kill it one day.
Also everyone who replied to the thread would have their post counts reduced.
