[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 962296, member: 112842"] I disagree. In the thread that prompted my question, it was clear that the OP edited the post after someone else posted comments specific to what had been posted. But, the part of that OP which the comments were addressing had apparently been edited out. Plus, if you edit a post to clarify something after 10 people have posted trying to make sense of the OP, then those trying to help might not see the edit, and might appear dense to someone coming into the thread for the first time. On another forum I visit, the time limit for editing is 24 hours. The time limit for deleting your post is 2 hours. The reason for such a short span is to prevent the above from happening. [/QUOTE]
