It's not a huge issue for me, I just thought I'd mention it.
In my defense, I will say that I hang at [checks Bookmarks] eight other major Internet forums, spend a bit of time at about 6 others, have been since 2000, and this is the only one I've ever encountered that gave its users unlimited editing opportunities. One of them (the Straight Dope) allows no editing of posts whatsover--once you hit "Submit", it's history--and the others, like JREF and BAUT, all permit at the most an hour or so to edit.
And all of them that do allow editing also have this unwritten rule that you don't go back and change your original post--you're allowed to fix typos or coding, but especially once people have begun responding to what you originally wrote, it's not kosher to go back and change it, because it makes it confusing for those who come in later.
So, Mark, you are very much in the minority here. Your generosity and trust are much appreciated, but...weird. :D
