You don't have a button on your post that says More... beside the Quoteand Quick Edit buttons? Screenshot below shows the area I mean (click on image to enlarge it). Your options will be different because you're a regular user, not an administrator but there should be a choice under the More... button to remove your post.

Nope.  when I click on More, I only get 2 options, Modify and Report To Moderator.

Edit. -   When I click on More, in my initial first post, there is no Delete option.
When I click on More on my last post, there is a Delete option for that particular post.

Sorry that I'm just now seeing this, Bill. I may have set it that people can't delete posts after a certain amount of time. I'm not really sure why people would want to and it breaks threads if people do it. I'll try to remember to check the settings later and see what I did.
