Re: editingposts
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMembers? behave responsibly??? get out of here!?? LOL.?? You can hardly trust members to trim a post, much less put notes in why they edit, etc.?? Why is this group so heavily moderated if members can be trusted to behave responsibly???? Well, we cant!
I dont really care about the members perspective on it, cause from my perspective, it drives me crazy to read edited posts.? In fact, edited posts are pointless cause I delete them all unread.? I am not reading that stuff twice, nor going to the website to figure out some miniscule sentence is changed.? I suspect others do likewise.? Well, I know they do. ? The only members "benefiting" are those on digest or reading on web, not the majority in my group.? If members want that feature, they can join another IO group.? There will always be someone with it, just as there are moderated and unmoderated groups.? My group is unmoderated and has few rules.? I dont even care much about trimming. ? I prefer to just set things up so I dont have to explain things like editing.?? I would rather have a few more twiddly buttons and be able to do that. ? Strangely, my group is extraordinarily well behaved.? By having such settings, I feel I can better keep it that way.? thats what it boils down to.? I am STILL getting emails in the other group I belong to by people mistakenly hitting "reply to sender" instead of "reply to group", but have come to accept that is probably a lost cause in objecting to it.? Ok, thats enough from me on this issue! Ro with Sally and Silk waiting at their feed dishes, and Handy, Feliz &?

I want to understand whether disabling edits would actually solve the concerns that are being raised, and I want to probe whether the desire to disable it is in part merely because it is unfamiliar.
