Delete

It always catches me out when I try to respond to a post only to find that between me reading it and hitting the ‘reply’ button, the author has deleted or otherwise hidden the text so I can’t post it.

That’s fair enough, there is usually a good reason why the post is removed – I’ve had second thoughts myself, more than once – but it would be nice if LJ could flash up a warning that you are now wasting your time, then you could get on and waste it more productively…
