Reply #85: "Wondered"?... I noticed it ages ago.

Did it/does it bother me?

Sort of... but not in the way you'd expect.

Why you might ask?

Because while it's understandable and normal to re-edit a post to correct a mistake or add something (say a link or more info),

it's not normal or customary to offer an explanation.

It seems only fair to the reader to let them know what alteration might have been made, particularly if they read it before the edit and maybe even replied to it.

I've been online 15-16 years, been on God knows how many newsgroups, bulletin boards, web forums, etc, and to the best of my recollection, you're the
sole person to go back and correct a punctuation mistake, and offer an explanation of it.

Allow me to clue you in on something.... no one really cares or notices.

It's the Internet... it's that simple.

You need to lighten up a bit and maybe some of us would take you more seriously.

Case in point...

Sadly, I am completely unable to spot typos before the submit button is clicked. It's kinda like my wo... <EOM>

No one asked you to explain yourself... yet you did.

Why?

It's nobody elses business... right?

About the worst mistake you could make right now is to respond to this post and go on and on explaining yourself even further, digging a deeper hole

for yourself, but you won't. The temptation is too great.

I have a two-page poem I wrote about a squirrel I was once close with and the thoughts a squirrel can prompt, all one sentence, very effective, try it sometime,

Clearly we're not on the same page with this one (should I be surprised?)

Squirrels are one of my arch nemesis, and the only good one, is a dead one (I have a mass burial ground in my backyard... I have pics of it somewhere).

Ah, there you go. I'd said "when I edit a thread" and not seen it until it was posted, and so as not to confuse you, I've edited it to "when I edit a post".

Haa Haa Haa... you made a funny!!!

Happy?

Yeah... sure... whatever.
