I am happy to go with the conservative view emerging here, but I would love the ability to ‘filter out’ posts about mac software, somehow. I have gotten excited about new software, only to be dashed on the rocks of my windows environment SOOOOO many times. (muting some voices would also be nice).

Yeah, I was kind of thinking one could edit one’s posts within some time limit - basically allowing one to fix obvious mistakes or to add detail or clarification shortly after posting. We don’t experience too much trolling, but it can make threads hard to follow if some of the relevant context is removed by the original poster.

Good idea, I think if the original post can be tagged with platform(s), that would allow people to ignore ones they’re not interested in. Later, I could implement a literal filter.

People are probably not going to tick all relevant platform filters, all of the time, anyway.
Also editing posts on forums software fall into two types:
* You can edit anytime (and/or delete post)
* There’s a time limit on editing posts
I don’t mind either way as this is my last post here.
Best wishes to all.
Bye.

Why is that? I realize by answering that this won’t be your last post.
If it is, best wishes to you also.
