When you write a piece, if you want to delete it so that no one else can read it, it should be your right. Unless of course you're a journalist and you have a duty to integrity or something like that, but I'm talking about people like you and me who might decide one day that they do not like what they wrote anymore.

Right up until you publish it in a public journal or newspaper, at which point you have no right to demand that every other reader destroy their copy.
