Sneaky

[Dr Unne]

Did you ever see a thread with a new post and click to read the last post in the thread and then after having read it you refresh a few seconds later and the last post suddenly changes because the person writing the post is editing it and you feel sneaky because you got to see the original unedited post and no one will ever know because EoFF doesn't add the "edited by" timestamp for a few minutes after the original post is made; or, conversely, do you ever post and then immediately spot a typo and start editing your post to fix it and wonder in a paranoid fashion whether other people may be watching you as you do so?

I do that sometimes.

[Shlup]

Yes to the later. I edit my posts all the time for various reasons.

Yes. o_o

I subscribe to all threads that I have posted in and sometimes when I read an email-post in my Inbox it is totally different from what it is when I get to the actual post. And it's better than just catching someone in the act of editting because I have proof.

I find some people sometimes say a lot of nasty things originally and I get all set up to ream them out for it, but when I get to the actual post I find that they have totally rewritten it...which is a good thing for them.

I find many typos in my own posts. If I'm lucky I catch them right away and hope no one has noticed, but sometimes I don't catch them till days later.

What I hate is when I type a post, start off for work, and 5 minutes into an hour and a half walk, I think of something to add and have to wait until I get to work (or, if it's busy, 11 hours until I get home) to add it ><

This happened today with my spam thread. I had to wait until I got to work to add in a snarky little snipe about s'mores.

Get your snarking over with before you leave next time.

[krissy]

no =-/

[escobert]

yes, yes.

[rubah]

I don't usually spent that much time looking at posts

[oddler]

Yes to the later. I edit my posts all the time for various reasons.

I'm down with this business.

[Xaven]

Yes. And yes, I constantly edit my posts shortly after submitting them. Previewing threads is a 2005 ordeal.

Stuff it, Tyler.

I don't know about feeling sneaky, but I think I edit a good 30% of my posts immediately after posting them.

So I've definitely been snuck on.

[Yuffie514]

yes. i edit my posts about 99% of the time. the best way to find out that my post has changed is when i am quoted by another member, but it's not quite word for word. i love sneakiness...

I left some typos behind so that some smartass can point it out and spam the hell out of the thread about his principles on perfect grammar and whatsoever.
