How can users delete their own comments?

I have noticed that users can edit their own comments, but they cannot delete their own comments. Only the administrators can do that.
How can I allow users to delete their own comments?
thanks in advance
usercomment module
Try the usercomment module
http://drupal.org/project/usercomment
Actually, I have it
Actually, I have it installed already. It doesn't help.
Did you ever find the ability to allow users to delete comments?

Would be nice to have a solution for something so simple.

Not so simple.
Because comments are threaded. If a users deletes a comment that has other comments attached to it, all of those attached comments also get deleted.
I don't see why usercomment.module doesn't fit the bill here. Could you be a little more verbose than "it doesn't work" ?
"[Usercomment] module lets
"[Usercomment] module lets users delete comments on nodes they create without giving them full comment administration access. Permissions are on a per node type basis, so it's a great way to, e.g., allow users to administer comments on their own blogs."
So if Mary comments on Tom's node and then decides to delete her own comment, usercomment module won't help
But Tom can delete Mary's comment because it was his node that she commented on.

What is needed is a permission for Mary to delete her own comments _anywhere_ (of course as long as no replies have yet been posted). And usercomment module doesn't adress that.
You are right of course. This

This is discussed for Drupal 7 in http://drupal.org/node/10700
There is also a user-supplied patch for Drupal 5 in http://drupal.org/node/350488
for Drupal 6?

I see. That desire wasn't apparent from your original post as it only mentions deletion of comment not deletion of comments under specific conditions.
I could also use this
