Gunnar, you misunderstand. I am in favor of editing, but I don't see why the reader has to be informed that the writer edited it. There would seem to be no good reason for this practice unless an edit was made days later re a post that was controversial, and the writer then edited the post in a dishonest fashion to claim he never said what he actually did.
There is a fairly high profile member who has posted comments quite often of a sarcastic or negative tone, who then pronounces he's done with the thread and starts deleting his comments. I'm reasonably sure he's not the only one who's ever done this.
Its kind of a "hit and run" technique that most of us don't care for.
That said, you can always delete the text that says this comment has been edited at the bottom of the text field...
