Lightbox: Cut and Paste / Drag and Drop

[Mara Hancock]

No, but you can "trash it."

I was going to ask about the issue of reordering vs. editing. On the  
MAC or windows you do drag things to the trash (or recycle bin). I  
can see that once users are reordering things with drag and drop they  
might expect to extend the metaphor for deleting.
