I just reviewed an issue on the tracker, and found that many, if not all, of my comments made at the time I completely disagree with (both now, and before -- I'm going to claim sleep deprivation).

Obviously I should post a new comment explaining my thoughts about the issue, but what should I do with the old comments? Is it acceptable to delete them? My preference would be not to delete them. Certainly don't delete them if others have explicitly replied to them. Even if you no longer agree with the conclusion, there may be something of value in the comments.

I generally only delete mine if I've posted to the wrong issue (which happens sometimes if I have multiple issues open and lose track of which tab is which).

For other discussions, I figure realising I'd made a mistake on my own isn't that different from someone else replying to point out the error

Cheers, Nick.
