Of course, if we DID have the ability to edit messages, one would have to be logged in for both the posting and the editing. I've never seen a discussion forum that allows editing without being logged in. That would be a problem.

And as I said above, we're happy to accommodate people who need a message edited. Just post the entire corrected text in a later message, and let us know about it. In other words, hg, as in your previous request thread - you can have what you want, but not exactly on your terms.
I have to say, though, that I hate editing requests that ask me to make numerous changes to a message. Then I have to decipher what the person wants, and go looking for the place to make the change. That makes the job a lot easier for both of us.

Oh, and as always, please give specific information when you write about a thread or message. Threads should be referred to by thread titlen (and number, if you find it). Messages by name of thread, name of poster, and date and time of message.

Thanks.

Since the original question has been answered and as we don't allow threads discussing Mudcat policy, I'll close this one.
