Is there any benefit to Mudcat if you just use its link to browse in Amazon without necessarily buying anything? Sometimes things are calculated on the amount of hits a link gets, regardless of whether a purchase is made. Is that the case here? If so, it means I'll never use any other doorway to the Amazon sites except the Cat flap.

Re editing posts: I can see how an unlimited-edit option might distort threads, but the suggestion above of a time-limited one is excellent. But instead of 10 minutes could we have 30 minutes or an hour? I usually just want to clean up typos or awkward syntax - or on occasion fix those situations where you discover upon re-reading a line that it can be interpreted two ways. This would be a GREAT boon and shouldn't do any harm to the thread itself.

The other advantage of a time-limited edit option (and why I think allowing an hour would be a good idea) is that it gives a count-to-ten cooling off period in which people may have second thoughts and douse or damp down some of their own flames (heat of the moment and all that). We might see some self-governing which would make the site more pleasant and ease the burden on the mods.
