Because, all things being equal, I think it's morally wrong to delete things,
unless required to do so. It can also open you up to legal issues.

I believe that it's wiser and safer to require specific documentation and
only to delete based on requests by original poster or someone whose rights
are being demonstratably violated -- never to delete on whim. I don't want
ever to open that door.

A phone call lays to rest any possibility of e-mail having been forged.
Although SMTP message headers can say a lot about a message's origin, there's
nothing like talking to a real person to confirm something. At the very
least, it's an additional step in which to gather information which would be
helpful to the community, even if the request is not disagreed with.
