It iss possible to have an edit button active for a set time after posting e.g.15 minutes I wonder if this would be a reasonable compromise, it would certainly allow folks to correct spellings and other tipooos(sic) but stop the abuse of editting posts in a fit of pique when someone upsets them later (has happened a couple of times here recently) What it would not cover is the situation with the faq and mjrs computer install - certainly the computer install is a one off and a moderator could edit/merge posts together as they have with the faq over the last few months. In fact if mjr are wanted to add/edit at the momment all he would need to do is quote his original post add/change it and a moderator could then delete the original - ps tis may become unecessary given the appt of moderatos post but I am illustratuing the principle. comments ?
