Would the forums be a better place with out the edit button? Why or why not?

Why edit when you can make another post 15 seconds later for a valuable +1 to the ol' post count?

How well you know me.

That's just the way he rolls.
Edit? gently caress man, half the time I spend 20 mins choosing my words carefully then just deleting it all and not posting anyway.

There is not a single surviving original post in my entire post history.

Even the posts that were perfect. I go back and subtly edit changing punctuation or word choice.

It has consumed me. It has made me craven.

I spend hours and hours going through each post. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

ALL OF THEM.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Not how I would have left it...
