if my memory is correct, i dont think i have ever edited one of my posts just for that reason. and, i have been in several "heated" love-wars thru the years.

i also bet you would see less moderating needed if people knew they couldn't remove what they said after seeing the feedback.

Well - the five minutes worked well for a lot of clerical errors and we just went from 5 - 30 minutes so we weill see how that goes - it can always go back
