its because too many people were editing/deleting evidence of themselves being dickheads on the interweb ......

no, really !!!!

I can still see it.

If you're the last person to post you can delete a message. If someone else replies after you then your post is no longer able to be deleted. This prevents you from accidentally opening a worm-hole in the space/time continuum through which the fabric of reality as we know it could be rent asunder by a vortex of anti-matter. Cos that'd really suck.

So yeah.

The answer is: Although it may appear that way, rumour has it he actually isn't, but we've never seen any proof to confirm/deny it.
