Why do contributors delete their own posts?

A significant contributor who shall remain unidentified deletes posts shortly afterwards. It’s not done with the intent of correction, but for the purpose of limited viewing. I wonder what rationale warrants this behavior. It certainly not for the benefit of providing context for later viewers who might want to learn from the thread.

I don't think its always or even usually for nefarious reasons.  For me, I might get a little ticked off and send something off and then immediately wish I hadn't.

Or might attempt to give advice and just after I push post notice someone else has answered given much better advice.

I have not noticed it to be a pattern with anyone.

I don’t mean to correct Geoff’s incorrect criteria for deterining if its a troll, or not, but its the hair that is critical for determing trollism.

Denial, always the first sign of you know what.

Don't be jealous, it took years for me to build myself up to 80%.

This may have already been mentioned, but I think that if a poster deletes his/her own post, it says something like "post removed and the date".  But if the mods delete a post there is no evidence it was ever there in the first place..
