I would like to delete my event as I realize this in not a "Networking" site per say like FB. How can I do that, there is no place to edit or delete an event. Thank you.

At 11:05pm on May 6, 2009, Rod Barreda said…: Eric, I like the site so far. I am guessing I use this like I use Facebook and Linked in?? Any other obvious items I have yet to discover. Again So Far So Good.

Thanks
