Is it possible for a poster to delete their own post?

I don't think so. It used to be, but they have changed that because it made the threads get messy.

What you can do is "edit" the post and redact whatever needs redacting, with a note that you changed it. Be aware that if someone responds to your post, whatever the quoted will still be in their post even if you change the original.

"Anyone who doesn’t view music as a gift from God must be a clodhopper indeed and does not deserve to be called a human being; he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs. I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God...” -Martin Luther
