willyroo - I am confused. The only person who made any edits in the thread you link above was myself - and I was not the thread starter. They were done within minutes of being posted to correct html or spelling snafus. No text was removed. I use other BB that allow such edits to be made within say 5 or 10 minutes, and thereafter not editable at all, which is a system I like.

Are you perhaps referring to another thread linked withn that thread, where heavy later editing from thread starter makes it a jumble to piece together for a first time reader?
