You can't delete messages.

Only admins or forum masters can, I believe.

Occasionally I make the same goof. I go in, edit the second message, and just delete all of the text in it.

Mike,

I tried that. I highlighted all the text and deleted it but when I was done the message reappeared. ?? Is there a policy that does not allow you to make multiple edits/messages within a certain amout of time?? Maybe that was it. Anyway no big deal

Thanks

No, you can edit a message you've posted any time you want.

Don't know why it wouldn't work for you.

**Mal H** · September 17, 2002, 02:48 PM

It's fixed.

You might have failed to press the "Save Changes" button when you were finished editing. I've done the same thing, compose or edit a post and just close the window followed by a few seconds of wondering where my words went followed a few seconds later by a loud "D'oh!"

Luckily, Mal, that loud "D'Oh!" is drowned out by the incredible fidelity of Mr. Rachmaninoff's piano concertos...

You know, I REALLY want to try my Dixie Chicks albums on those speakers...

Ouch! (That was a cry of pain from the sudden twisting of the thread subject.)

But since you brought it up ... the Dixie Chicks will never see the light of my laser or the diamond on my tonearm! Marty Robbins, Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, even the Dillards, certainly. But the Dixie Chicks, never!

Is that so, Mal?

I'll drop some Dixie Chicks tunes on you that will make you lose your mind and think you're back in the Old Ryman in the 1950s.

You get deep into their albums, stuff you don't hear on the radio because it's not the crossover music that's happening right now, and you hear a return to the quintisential CLASSIC roots of modern country music.

Minnie Pearl wouldn't know what hit her.

Bill Monroe would bow his head in reverence.
