Yes that is exactly it! People want control over their computing, and it appears more like the strategy of a netnanny than anything else, to remove editing features that have been part of the "abovetopsecret." experience.

You mean people really have to see how bad of a speller I am now?!
I'm assuming this is just temporary...

The edit button is "on" for two hours after you create your post... which should be plenty of time to review spelling and make improvements.

1. When you work and can't constantly monitor your posts,
2. ATSNN articles.
This bit me in the arse today. An ATSNN reporter recommended an edit to an article and "no can do" because I was at work and the 2 hours had passed.

That seems more like a step backwards with regards to monitoring the quality of our posts....
Or am I just missing something? Maybe just the admins can edit now??
