That the post doesn't indicated it was edited is something I find troubling.
DS, vBulletin (the forum software on which FT runs) has a setting for the amount of time after a post is posted during which the post may be edited without the change indication at the bottom of the post being triggered. I believe that the default is set at five minutes; but that parameter can be changed by Administrators. After that, changes show up in that familiar notation at the bottom of the post (see the bottom of this post). I know of no way for anyone (including Mods) to bypass it, so that means that the changes were made just a few minutes after you made the post. (I'm becoming intimately familiar with the innards of vBulletin as I'm converting a commercial forum I own to vBulletin. It's excellent software.)
Anyway, back to taxis.... Different hotels have different protocols for getting a taxi for you. I agree with the oft suggested idea of getting a moving taxi rather than one sitting at a queue. SGS has no taxi queue. When someone in the lobby needs one, they radio down to the security guard at the entrance to the driveway; and he hails one driving by. There's no place for a taxi queue there as all lanes of Suk carry moving traffic in that stretch.
Other hotels handle taxis differently, -- PA, for example, which nearly always has two or three taxis waiting in a queue on Wireless at the end of the driveway or Aloft which also usually has taxis waiting on the street. I don't recall how WGS does it on the other side of Suk.
