				If you wish for all your contributions to be seen as been

				If you want to erase their content as well, please enter
				the string `<tt>DELETE CONTENT OF ALL COMMENTS</tt>` in all caps
				into the appropriate input as well. But I would urge you
				not to do this unless absolutely necessary. Don't we all hate
				coming up on an interesting thread on the internet only to
				find the most important/interesting message has been deleted?
