My response on another thread -

I fully agree with the need for people to think more about what they post.
The only problem I have with not being able to edit at all is that sometimes I hit the 'submit' too quickly or even accidently - typos get through, perhaps the thoughts haven't been completed, OR after seeing it 'live (even after reading before submitting) I realize I've said something that might be taken the wrong way ...
And while I understand the desire (need?) to have the complete thread intact, if someone has written something they need to edit out, it probably wasn't worth being there to begin with ...

I, for one, am not quite that ready to give up my editing capabilities....
