"Edits" (by KC):

Like Mike, I routinely make spelling or typo error corrections to my posts --- seldom any substantive changes. Bear in mind that ANY change or correction (no matter how small) made to a posting after its actual "placement" in the forums will, from that point onward, reflect as having been "edited", even though said "edit" might only have been a very minor correction of punctuation or spelling. In the particular instances you mention, I may have spilled a mug of Samuel Adams Octoberfest on my keyboard, thereby creating a spelling error (and/or an electrical fire). That never seems to happens with my trusty old tankard, however. ;-)
On the subject of editing, some other timeshare sites disable ANY option for editing of forum posts after 48 hours of the original posting. The theory apparently is that people should not be allowed to simply "revise history" at will, after the fact, by substantially changing the content of their postings, reversing their claims, or otherwise altering their words or views or positions (that practice is evidently left primarily to politicians). On those sites, after 48 hours you forever own what you posted --- as is.
I don't know how much of a real problem "content revision" would really be in a timeshare discussion forum, but that's certainly the prerogative of those who own and run a site to establish their own rules. It does make some sense to put time deadlines on edits. For example, when trying to follow sequential posts within a thread it could promptly get VERY confusing if earlier posts were later radically altered --- long after the original posting. On RedWeek, postings can be edited and/or deleted at will, with no time deadlines.
