Sorry, I may have missed something that's obvious to the initiated here, but where to be found are posters personal profile pages??

If I click on the name of a poster, I get directed to a list of their posts, but no profile.

If there is such a feature and I've missed it, apologies, but if there isn't it'd be so much nicer to get a feel for an otherwise anonymous online ID, through whatever personal info, my-space or You-Tubey links and whatnot, that they wished to offer for general consumption.

As for posters editing their own posts, yeah, tis open to all kinds of misuse! Though I think posters being able to entirely delete their own posts is always a good thing, especially where the poster recognises that their 'contribution' was inapropriate or likely to cause further unecessary argument.
