Deleting a filter does not change the security of the posts posted in it. The filter no longer exists for future posts, but the post itself is still viewable only by the same people it was ever viewable by. I suppose this makes some sense, not accidentally exposing posts and whatnot, but it makes it a right pain in the ass to convert posts to public if you decide you don't want to have a filter anymore, because you have to go through them one by one, a task made even more heinous by the previously-lamented lack of ability to display only the post's in one's journal that were made within a specific filter.

that was kind of a long sentence.

I update with a client rather than on the website, so that's not as elegant as I'd like, but it's a pretty clever idea.
