Well, usually, it's best to ask Joe Offer or Pene Azul privately. Ordinarily, the Clones are supposed to edit or delete technical mistakes only, and Pene and I take care of matters that involve more ticklish problems. Once there have been replies, we are very reluctant to delete messages or threads.
I have been combining some threads when there are multiple threads on the same topics. We also occasionally delete threads that appear to have been started just to make trouble.
Sometimes, people ask me to delete a thread because they've asked a question and then somebody posted an answer and they got the information they need. We almost always leave threads like that alone, because somebody else might need that same information.
Oh, and we kill duplicate threads without being asked.
