I've been watching the comments in a thread (here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum39/HTML/001036.html ), and the poster has removed a lot of text from 4 or 5 posts.

I'm sure there's a good reason for being able to edit a post, but the ability to edit should be limited to (say) 10 minutes, or until the first reply. Otherwise the whole idea of a bulletin board is compromised - someone can say what they want, then a few days later decide they're not responsible for their actions.

Appreciate your thoughts?
