I was wondering if their could be a "delete post" option when editing. I probably would have left this post up and marked solved, because it could help others solve a similar isuue.
There are, however, some posts made in haste only to be "self-solved" like mine. Some of these are just frivolous http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3753 and would probably be removed by the author if it was possible.
No, I don't think that there should be an option to delete posts. If everybody could do delete posts (even just his own) a lot of unwanted and possibly malicious stuff could happen.
Posting something is no different from shouting it out in a public place. Except in some cases nobody would stop you from doing it (e.g. spam). In all other cases you gotta live with it.
Just because it's in the internet doesn't mean you don't need to think before speaking up! One should be aware that mindless action focused publising could make one look like an idiot or at least a person not worth spending time on. The internet must not change that. Actually that thoughtless posting is a giant waste of time for everybody -- readers and author.
You've been asked here to mark it as solved not because everybody needs to see the state of the topic from its headline. Instead in your case readers would open and read your post just to notice that its solved anyway. A big solved in the title effectively prevents that. There's no rule for the use of solved here.

I think I should mark it his way [Eureka!], so that people will know that I just found my own mistake rather than someone else's detective work cracking the case. That way we can still learn from post marked [SOLVED] and not waste time searching for answers in posts marked [Eureka!] or [DOH!]
Why? It wasn't solved. It was remembered, not solved. If I can't mount my external optical drive, is it solved when realize I forgot to plug in the USB cable?
No one should waste their time reading it unless testimony to my forgetfulness amuses them.
EDIT
Its funny that forgot to mark it in the first place, which is where this thread went off on a "topic marking policy" tangent. In that sense this thread is still not solved, or is it?
