In addition to what Iceman said, keep in mind that we don't always delete a post simply because someone "changed their mind"...
For example, if you post something for sale then change your mind later, if the thread receives replies we may ask you to simply post a new reply indicating you changed your mind.
There really isn't any one hard rule we follow since each situation may warrant a different outcome. We always try to preserve the forum's history so we don't delete posts or threads very often. It's sometimes easier to just update a thread with a new post than to delete it and have everyone ask where it went, etc.

This one was a dupe, as you posted the exact same again in the e60 forum.
So, it's not really changing the forums history, espacially because there haven't been any replies to the thread yet.
