....And they get all the shit that any member cares to fling at them...

Not true, I've always (well for the last few years at least) made changes using my own name.

I have never received any flack for it from anyone.

Why I even changed one of Shambles thread titles the other day, changing week to year. It was probably an abuse of my editing priveleges because it was done as a joke. I just couldn't resist it. But I did fess up immediately and haven't received any flack for it.
