Actually, Kosmo, this whole issue does bring up a question -- it seems like the ability to edit messages has changed. It's a MUCH shorter timeframe in which you can still do so -- certainly less than an hour. Though I'm happy to see an end to so many mary j bilge's, is there a way to get it back for a day or so...?
Rhett, I thought you're post on this was very thoughtful and a good point over all.
