Hi Eddie, in addition to the opportunity to 'take as long as you need' to preview and edit what you compose (via preview mode) before you ever hit the send button, you're also given 10 generous minutes more after your initial post to go back and re-edit your posting as you like. Only after 10 minutes, the post becomes permanent, which prevents certain individuals here who've had the history of later going back (10, 20, 60 minutes, or hours and days later ) to conveniently delete, or alter the meaning of their post(s) simply to protect them from possible recrimination to what they had originally posted. To preserve the integrity of our forum, I believe the 10 minute rule must remain. If someone really needs to edit or delete their posting later, they still have the opportunity to email Nigel about it.
