He can delete a thread, AFAIK, as long as it does not have replies. There should be DELETE button and if that post doesn't have replies yet, it can be deleted.

When you have signed in to the forum, click the Delete button next to your post. Note that you can’t delete posts marked as Answer (but other than that, there are no restrictions, as far as I know).

OK, you want to delete an entire thread? You can’t. Only moderators can.

Hi Mr. Stefan,
Thanks for your reply.
so, how can we become Mederators? or how can we pass on message to moderators for something like that.
Thanks & Regards,

--and there was I thinking the "F" stood for the same thing as in RTFM.
I think btw that it's fair enough that a user can only delete a thread that he has started that has no replies to it (even though I was once caught out by this myself).
We get a fair share of people who when they see the answer are embarassed by how easy the solution is. I'm sure they would love to remove the whole thread, yet if they did people with the same problem wouldn't be able to find that "simple" (simple is often when you know the answer) answer.
