[FM Discuss] Deleting an unwanted book from My Manuals?

[adam]

ok, so think of it this way.

lets say i wrote "How To Bypass Internet Censorship". The manual exists 
only on FM (for arguments sake) with no clones. I then decide for what 
ever reason (I'm drunk, i decide i dont any longer support internet 
freedom, whatever) to delete it...

everyone happy?
