If you hadn't commented on your own comment, you could have deleted it... ;)

I still can. Would you like to go back and comment anonymously?

[asknosecrets.livejournal.com]

Nah, everyone knows I'm weird! (I didn't know if you minded people deleting comments.) Oh well. *laughs*

I have a couple of valued friends who post-and-delete from time to time.

[asknosecrets.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, OK. In some people's journals, it's a spanking offence, so I like to check.

[telynor.livejournal.com]

In my journal, a spanking offence is something to strive for! :-D

[asknosecrets.livejournal.com]

I was just trying to get you to use that icon. *Evil laugh*

Ha! You win!

It's a semi-regular way of sending messages to some people on LJ, since they get the comment emailed to them, but it doesn't remain in the journal/on LJ.

Doesn't PMing someone do the same?

[the-magician.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, if you send someone a private message, it remains on LJ in their inbox until they delete it (and possibly in your "sent" private messages) which means if LJ has problems and the privacy stops working, then it will be visible to everyone.

Sometimes it's just easier if you're 3/4s of the way through writing a reply and then realise you only want the OP to see that response, to finish sending it and then delete it immediately :-)
