> What's the worst thing that can happen if a post is edited after more posts have been made?
Editing a post after responses have been posted is simply bad form;" changes to such posts should be made in "the full light of day."
Editing a post to which no responses have been posted, on the other hand, is, in my opinion, of no consequence.
If nobody's looked, who cares, and if nobody who's looked has realized that a post includes a typo or mistake, then, again, who cares?
My personal feeling is that our right of authorship supersedes cyn's right to make arbitrary decisions.
(All of which is not to say that I consider 24 hours to be an inadequate edit window; I'd be happy with it as a universal rule, as opposed to the current patchwork.)
