If I am a figment of your imagination, stop it..PLEASE
 
Perhaps if we were still "allowed" to delete our posts then we would would not be forced to edit them.

If I say something stupid that I regret the second after I post it I WILL edit it out of the post. Sometimes I post with my heart rather than my head.

Later,

P.S. Often my post read even worse after I edit them. I may remove the insults and strong opinions, but I usually forget to fill in the void they leave with something else.

Send Money?

To my Pyschiatrist...
or You, Brian?

Paracelsus, one of the voices in my head sounds kind of Australopithecine. I hope he's not from down under in the land of wonder. I was Really hoping he was Real. Sounds like a nice fellow. There only enough room for 42 here in My head

Automantic, I agree that one should edit posts to remove obviously objectionable material once you can see it in an actual thread instead of the little tiny edit window. I am glad you do. So do I.

Complete deletion of posts would be A LOT worse. And because of a software glitch, if the thread-starter deletes his post, the Whole thread and everyone elses posts in the thread Go Away. That is Real Bad. So nobody can delete whole posts.

But I do feel if you walk away from the post-edit mode, giving someone enough time to read and respond to your post (maybe only for a few minutes), then you should leave the text where it is and take the heat (if any).

BTW: in my last post to Brian, I was Playing. I hope Brian does not take offense (the check is in the mail Brian).
 
Yeah. I really don't care what people want to edit, as long as they don't edit something that other people have specifically responded to. When that happens, the entire thread is ruined.
 
I kind of like the air of mystery when you only see responses to deleted comments. Then my imagination is free for wild speculation.

My wife and I have a travel game called "Days of our Cars", where we invent grandiose plots to explain the behaviours of people in passing cars or people waiting in airports. (It is named in honor of the wild plots in soap operas.) To play Days of our Cars properly, you should have no real facts to work with. This is a game of pure conjecture. My wife will often ask me for a "Days of our Cars" opinion of odd things people say or do. Days of our Cars can be much more fun than reality.
 
I think we should be allowed to edit other people's posts.

BTW, Edited only has one t. Is it possible to edit the title?

Now Ryan that really would be fun!

Or going back in Contests and change your posts to winning answers,

then maybe I could finally win something here. Even though I promised it to Silverwing.

Paracelsus,
"Damn Phil! If I didn't know better I really would think you'd been thinkin'"

Forget about it, that ain't going to happen, why start now?
 
Or better yet, you could just go into Mike's winner anncouncement message and change his number to yours. Then everybody could change their numbers and we'd all win!

And think of all the bickering it would save! Instead of endless going back and forth, you could just edit your opponent's post to reflect your own views!

I did not know that this edit feature existed before reading this thread.I just used it for the first time attempting to correct my misspelling of a forumites name in another post and misspelled his name a different way in the correction.This is one reason I chose mad cow as a handle,I can still spell it way into my second sixpack.
