Modifying posts

[Barry Carlton]

I notice sometimes when I visit 'Who's online' that some are modifying their posts. Is there some way to be notified of this?

Sometimes their modifications are significant to the conversation.

No, the software doesn't notify when someone edits their post. It would be nice if the poster put up a new message, letting others know the original message had been changed. But sometimes it's just correcting a spelling or punctuation error (yeah, I WISH) and often nothing of major significance. I think members can edit their posts for a half a day. After the post is 5 minutes old, it will show an "edited by" notation at the bottom if it's edited again.

I don't think I ever make a post that I don't have to correct for spelling, grammar.......less often for poor choice of wording. That's mostly bad eyesight, poor typing and clumsy, fat fingers. I have one bad eye and I can't see out of the other.

Sometimes I just read it and realize that people who don't know me are going to be offended. So I do some quick editing.

I modified one this morning, to clarify what I was talking about.

There are also those of us who suffer CRSS: Can't remember shit syndrome. I have had many a post where the brain was working so feverishly, I forgot a seemingly critical thought point and had to edit my post to add it in.

The ailment is very similar to FMTCUS: Forget to measure twice and cut once syndrome.

Having that five minute rule (isn't this along the lines of the five second rule?) saves face on many occasions. I would be so embarrassed if folks actually knew how scattered my thought process actually was

And your a forum guide!

Sadly, CRSS effects those across many socio-economic strata and it completely non-discriminatory. Please donate generously to CRSS Research Fund. Cash is best and can be sent to CRSS Research Fund c/o Peter Kodner.

Please note your donation is completely and totally subject to taxation and will provide absolutely no benefit to you or other suffers of CRSS. I always fully intend to do good things with the money but have never failed forget to.


Disclaimer: This post is made with tongue firmly implanted in cheek. Any who actually send donation probably suffer from SPSS: Suckers for Phony Scheme Syndrome. But do not despair. I am currently working on a research fund for this dreaded affliction.
