I wrote the comment before I read the rest and the ability to delete commands was thrown out from the UI. It’s worth noting her that the old LW did allow the deletion of retracted commands if nobody answered them.
True, though in this case someone had made a reply, so it wouldn’t make much of a difference. Agree though that we should probably get around to building UI to delete leaf-comments.
The point is still defensible (as demonstrated in my reply @ruby) but not necessarily important enough to consume attention. Retraction doesn’t prevent a comment from taking up attention.

No, by the point I was first thinking about whether or not to let the comment stand, there was no reply.
Oh, interesting. But why didn’t you retract it then?

Interesting. I will have to think about that as a use-case for deletion as something separate from “retracting but harder”.
