Editing Posts

[Neils]

I just get round it by quoting anything controversial that I think might get edited after the event.

That of course can occasionally lead to equally dickish behaviour where something obviously stupid said on a forum is quoted for "all time" before the original poster realises what they've said and edits it.

I think I've only pulled one post from a forum in recent years and that hadn't been replied to. If something I've said gets replied to I kind of feel duty bound to leave it up regardless of how idiotic it might make me look.

You will get a constant flurry of PMs from me asking to insert a comma here, change a typo there though, I will warn you in advance

You'd never catch me resorting to such tactics (well, unless I was arguing with BBM!).

Can still be persuaded away from the 48h rule if you try hard enough.

the 50th PM asking you to change a comma to a semi colon will probably do it

Time to let the apostrophe police off the leash.

The number of times I see bee's instead of bees...

Nothing wrong with saying a bee's arse is hard to find.

If only it were mainly used in that context instead of "I went to see my bee's today".

Though with the number of typos in my posts maybe I should just keep quiet.
