Post edit tag discussion (moved)

I'd suggest five minutes. That allows us time to re-read long posts to ensure they are grammatically accurate. There have been many times I've written a LONG post and had two or three minor grammatical errors that I wanted to clean up. With the "edit" tag, I'm afraid people will think I made some major adjustments to my post afterwords.

Make sense?

I use this button to get a second and third look at a post before I submit it:

Good point.

I agree that *any* edit should be noted; I see no advantage to having a grace period. Not like we're saving trees or anything.

Agreed. I do not see the big deal. I often post. Think about it for a second or two and change something or spot a typo.

The primary purpose for the edit seems to be letting readers know that the post has been changed so they might want to reread it. Not a big deal.
