How is it possible to remove a question? I posted a question which didn't receive any answer and is ill formatted.
(And this problem is happening with this question too. All the formatting I made is collapsed in a huge and unreadable line.)
I'd like to remove it, and in an efficient way. I.e. as fluently as you delete a file you don't need.
Posts can not be deleted, they can be edited (for up to 15 minutes after posting)
Reply to your original post and clarify the question.
I am expecting a functioning answer.
Or at least why my question doesn't deserve an intelligent explanation
What I am asking here is a basic function the same level you get within a basic text editor which let you remove a line or a paragraph.

I just gave you one.
You can not delete your post (and there are not that many n's in functioning)
You got a functional answer. Once posted, it cannot be deleted by the user, only edited, and then only if done so within 15 minutes of the original posting. This is a function of the platform and a decision by Apple. None of the users here would be able to give you anything more.
And this isn't a basic text editor.
Thanks, I'll fix this immediately.
I don't confuse a discussion web interface with a basic text editor.
On the other hand if the web interface of discussions group doesn't bring the functions of a basic text editor it will stay a pain to use.
Here is my situation and I guess this is happening to many: I simply want to remove something I wrote.
What I wrote (and what you wrote too) is my intellectual property (or yours when you write something anywhere) to start with.
I hope to stay free with what I write on a web interface. This is a minimum right isn't it?
You might want to review the TOS of the forum. You do not own intellectual rights to your post. It is the property of Apple.
No, it isn't, when you posted it here you gave permission for Apple to use it and they do not have to allow you to delete it.

Two statements in direct conflict with each other factually. A web site is not a file sitting on your desktop, so not once posted you cannot simply delete it.

No, actually it is not. You need to read the Term of Use. It is Apple's property as soon as you chose to post it.
From the TOS.

And rather going through this nonsense, if you actually want a response to your originally posted quest, return to it, reply to it, and clarify or correct the information.
