Robb: Deleting Topics?

Are mods not allowed to delete the first post in a thread?  I tried a little test in the entertainment forum, can't get rid of it, and feel somewhat foolish.

I'll leave it up for now. Try clicking the link "Delete topic" near the bottom of the page.

I tried that earlier and got:

Specific reasons for Deleting a post error:
You cannot delete the first post
Do you want to access the forum help files?

Possible reasons for Deleting a post error:
Password Incorrect
Username incorrect
Unregistered member

Let's test one more thing: try doing the other mod commands, like move topic, lock topic, edit the post, etc. If those don't work I think I know how to fix the problem.
