Ah, Nessie, that's only if it LET'S you delete it. On at least one double post, the "X" for deleting the repeat post would not appear. The post had taken control and would not allow itself to be deleted. It had become AWARE!
The "X" for deleting a post is only available as long as it is the last post in the thread.
That's just it... in those situations I noted, they WERE the last posts in the threads. No one had posted after me, let alone an hour or two later, and the "X" for deleting the posts simply wasn't there. The next day, however, the repeat posts would be gone, possibly due to the webmaster taking care of them.

Nah, that's when I use "EDIT" and erase everything in the post and leave it blank to occupy space and time. I might leave a quick note like, "Post Removed," but no whining.
