  The first one has already been moved to the off-topic part of that forum.

  I checked out the first couple of the next four and they don't seem offensive or stupid in any way so I don't see why they can't stay there undeleted.

  Remember that Moderators have enough to do without spending the time to go to threads and delete them for seemingly no good reason.

  (I have elsewhere suggested that threads with no reply at all that are already over a year old should be automatically deleted. That in my way would be the way to do this rather than doing it on an individual [and thus time-consuming] way.)

  Note that even if deleted, Google / Bing already know about the thread.

  And then come back and delete *this* thread to finish it all off.

  Thanks,

  Lastly, I give Microsoft permission to delete any other threads of mine that they feel are non-useful.

   

  HI Shawn !

  All of these threads are now locked other than the last one. Two of among those are answered. Is there any specific reason to delete your activity.

  I think only forum Administrator / Owner or Moderator of that specific forum can delete your threads per request but i don't think they might have enough time to do this as this seems totally unreasonable.

  Thanks, Hasham

  Mr. Walsh and Mr. Niaz:

  Good points.  We can let Microsoft decide as they wish.  While I would hate to think what would would happen to my points if we went to a StackOverflow type system, my "stupid" posts would automatically dissapear as the community voted my occasional acts of dumbness down :-)

  In the future, I will try to be less retarded.

  Thanks,

  Shawn
  Earnestly looking forward as Microsoft shapes the future of development.

  Yes, but it seems that most dumbness on the internet expires from the search engines in a few years because there is too much junk out there. The exception is when someone says something which is exessively super stupid [1].  In that case, the search engines latch onto the stupidity as long as they can since it tends to bring them more revenues :-)
