And why is that? Anyone can delete them so that they aren't viewable by anyone else, but the idea of not being able to permanently remove them means we can still see them - and if they're inappropriate, we can still take action because it's still there. Your point?
Well, I don't know. I just thought it was silly that a user couldn't permanently delete their own profile messages. I'll get used to it, though. :) I was just on something when I posted my original message.
