Daz......just think of each electronic posting as a written page in a book..............you [the author] has ~~~~30? minutes to read read and change or correct any spelling etc
So after that, it is the same as a written page......you nor any other person can change your written page ......others may read and being kind hearted souls ......send you a PM
suggesting a statement or whatever you have made is incorrect
This would then allow you to go back & further revise your words....but then some other 3rd person butts in & advises you have changed your words
& a sh*t fight starts & a
Moderator would be needed
It is interesting, as a number of other WEB sites for model marine & nautical matters do have the facility for individual authors to edit their postings without any time constraint..........from this,......I have not witnessed any revisions where it has caused any friction between members
If you are planning on a long posted note, why not compile and create this document in eg., MS Word or MS Outlook, this then provides you with virtually unlimited time to review and reflect on the content,.......then when you are happy ....just
copy &
paste your note here in your chosen MBM page
This latter process also will provide a backup for you if you choose an unfortunate time or day when the MBM Server takes a sickie
