Then, if I'd say to myself, well I'll post later, I've forgotten about it 3 minutes later. Sometimes I see a stupid mistake I made after spending 20 minutes check spelling so on and so fort and read it a week later, what can you feel but stupid and can't do anything about it. I can't see one reason for this. Would someone help me understand this? Nigel please?



It is simply because in the past there have been occasional cases of forum members posting extremely inflammatory posts then editing them away after the s*** hits the fan. So you can thank them for the short editing window.
