There have been two or three occasions that I >wished I could retract a post here. This thread offends me, I hope it can be retracted! Sometimes I'd sure like to go in a fix editing and spelling mistakes I've maid. Maybe an edit button would be nice, and it could also double as a way to retract a reckless post. Ok, posible problems that I see with an edit or retract option, is people altering what is on the board (a problem even if it was their own post). For example, if you're in the middle of an arguement, you REALLY don't want somebody to be able to go and edit or remove an earlier post. Does that make sense? Pete
