Er, they
have been deleted.
What Nate is saying, though, is that if you made additions (eg adding punctuation) to texts which are in the public domain, then it is
only your additions which you can claim "copyright" on, not the original text. If someone
removes the material that you've added, therefore, what's left is public domain material which can be freely redistributed.
