How to delete ones own thread ?

I deleted it for you.
In case anyone wonders what the general policy is with this, you have the option to delete from your end (there's a menu at the upper right, I think) as long as it's before anyone comments. Once someone has commented, though, you can no longer delete it, because we believe it would unfair to the other members to have their posts unilaterally deleted. (This happens sometimes where someone starts a thread about a controversial topic, or says something really stupid, then gets mad that other people respond accordingly.)
So a moderator needs to do the deleting in those cases. Just "Report" the post to get our attention and say you'd like it deleted. Most of the time (like with you), it's totally benign and makes sense, so we delete it.

^ Another thing members can do, is EDIT their first post instead of creating a new one. That way it will have the right content they want. 
If you look next to the Report link, the next one is Edit (at least on my end).

Hi, not the right place to ask but how can I start a new Treath? I have an account and I posted one message about a year ago. I want to start a new question in the Chris hein discussion room but I see nowhere a button to start a new Treath. I can only reply to existing one's.

Hi, the reason is that this Chris Hein thread is already a discussion thread in a subforum: Sample Talk. What you can do is post your questions in that thread, as it does invite feedback, etc
To start a new thread, you need to be in a subforum like Sample Talk, etc. Then you can start one.
Does that help?
