It’s my content. I can do whatever I want with it. I can delete it. I can change it. I can leave it be. It’s not nasty or thoughtless. It’s mine. Who is anyone else to tell me whether I want to take my own content down?

Maybe, 10 deletes per year if you accidentally write some PI or something. I like how HN allows deletes for some time. At multiple occasions I have deleted some comment that was flame or stupid after 10s and saved others the trouble of reading it.
