My father is the kind of guy who keeps his mouth shut until he has something really good to say. Then he says it. His words have value. I always admire that trait and I try to emulate it.

BUt here on the Cellar, that's not the point. It's good to have posts that have some value to them, but if you wait until what you have to say is profound, there would be no posts here. It's the chaff that inspires the wheat.

Edit: I just thought about this post and how it relates to the thread, and decided to delete it rather than refine it, because I think it's lame and I don't even really agree with it fully. But since the topic of the thread is posts you delete, I thought I'd give you an example of what I would delete. It's everything above the word "Edit" here.
