Bob. If I don't have it wrong I believe Lostcowboy means to be able to edit the post. Read it again on the board.

If it still doesn't read the way he wants it to edit again during the 15 minute time limit.

But when he likes it the 15 minutes end once he goes on to next post or a previous post or another thread.

Even if it's only been 4 minutes of edit time.

When I saw the edit feature appear I personally felt that IHub had suddenly become much more valuable. And I've never heard of an 'abuse' of the feature on SI. There have been a few unimportantly awkward moments in which one has had to post on SI, "I don't think you saw my edit," or "I see that what I answered isn't there any more, I guess it was edited out." But that's nothing compared to the advantages of being able to edit.

Just my feeling on the subject.

Edit: This reminded me of a glitch that happened on SI once that caused my PM's to get publicly posted! Fortunately there was nothing mortifying in those PM's, but had there been, I would sure have been glad for the edit function to permit me to delete them, lol.

I, get what you are saying Bob, Now for me there is no problem I type slow and I spell check (using Hot Lingo) most of the time. But evidently their are some hot fingered people on here. What they are saying is that one person will say something that gets the second person up set. The second will type a hot reply back. At this time the first person will go back and change his message, to a nice message, and the end result is that it looks like the second person attacked the first person.

There is a worse possibly that could be going on. If you have any ex submariner they can agree with this, on long crews we get bored, very bored, and we start playing games with people. Take three people, two don't like each other, the third person appears to be a friend to both. He tells one person one thing and the other person the opposite thing, pretty soon these two people, have gone from not liking to hating each other. Mean while the third person is having a good time watching the show. The only way to calm down the situation is to get the first two people together, and get them to comparing notes.
