THE PERSON WHO POSTED THE MESSAGE - OR SOMEBODY CLAIMING TO BE THEM - GOT IN TOUCH AND ASKED IF THE COMMENTS, MADE WHEN THEY WERE A TEENAGER, COULD BE DELETED SO THEY MIGHT NOT FOLLOW THEM AROUND NOW THEY ARE APPLYING FOR WORK. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST. I HAVE ALSO REMOVED THE COMMENT IN WHICH THE POSTER ASKED FOR THE DELETION SO AS TO PRESERVE THEIR IDENTITY.]
