There's a duplicate and longer submission with more details here:

The submission I'm replying to seems to be the one that's picked up traction.

@nblasted: please don't make dupliate submissions. You have about 2 hours to make edits, that window seems to have passed.

Oops sorry guys I was sleeping. I'll review the dupe and edit or delete. My apologies
Alas there appears to be no way to delete. I will be more careful in the future
Generally you've got 2 hours to make edits or delete.

Once a post (or comment) has replies, it cannot be deleted, though it can still be edited.

It's generally frowned on to edit in such a way that original meaning is changed, or responders are made to look bad.
