Arrow No.

I'm not interested in outing specific threads or individuals, but I did want to air the practice and attempt to get some sort of broad consensus about what is expected and fair.

For instance, at many other sites, once you hit "send", there is no editing possible. Very embarrassing for poor spellers like myself. It's one of the things I'm glad doesn't happen here. I like to edit too.

I'd like to suggest that we make an effort to fully use the "Reason for edit" space...or simply post anew. There's a fine line between having a conversation and gilding one's comments for the ages.

Here's a technical question, though: does anyone know if a quoted text changes when its author edits after the fact?
