Why should we bother to delete your post? If you don’t like it then delete it yourself. ---

Well, you could pull it out. Or burn it in place. Plant some creeping vine next to it and use it as a trellis. Mount a dish on top, use it as a birdbath. Or put a sundial on top, I’ve always wanted a sundial. But post no bills. ~VOW ---

How can I delete it? When I click on the trash can, I get an error saying “There was an error deleting that topic. Please contact the site’s administrator.” ---

Or stop making errors. That’s probably the way to go about it. ---

Mea culpa. Someone, please delete this post before someone replies again. I can’t make them stop. ---
