I said ridiculous because those propasals (3 and 4) are so.


Regarding number 5 - you said:

Legitimate reasons for amending a post can only be:
   a) to delete personal information given in a post
   b) to delete web links to pornographic or racist sites

therefore any other corrections - such as fixing broken links - adding informational links, cross-linking trhreads, adding posted midi file links, etc, etc. would not be legitimate. Believe it or not most editing that occurs is NOT in any manner done as censorship.
