In the case of your node, it was reaped 31 minutes after it was created.

I wonder if there is a compromise that can be developed.

I agree that deleting nodes = bad thing...but

How about the ability to do something similar to Reaping or in this case, Self Reaping?

Perhaps a user, within certain guidelines, could "reap" their own node and the result would display something like "phydeauxarff has reconsidered this node for presentation - for more info click here" and provide a link to the original node should anyone care to dig in and see what it was

this would offer folks a chance to recant something they decided they didn't want to say after all and would still keep the continuity of the site intact

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
