4 hours should do it. I have gone back to correct things, who doesn't. Sometimes an hour later a light bulb goes off and I go back and add some brilliant thing or two.

After 4 hours you can just add another post.

After 4 hours if you REALLY regret saying something then just use whiteout on the screen.


It comes in 55 gallon drums too!
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Well, well -- we're at thirty six voters already.  It's bedtime for Nancy and me -- so in the morning I'll announce the results and make some comments upon which you can make some comments.

I voted for 12 hours, for those that still work and have no access to a computer at work, like a construction worker. Not all have office jobs, Ipods, etc.

As long as we are just playing anyway, I have an issue with the cuss filter..... I have let go on for a almost 4 years now, but Tom's post just dragged it into my mind again...  :|

Here are the totals, and by the way -- I've just locked the poll - no more voting.

To allow no edits whatever:    1
To allow 4 hours to edit:       24
To allow 12 hours to edit:       8
To allow 24 hours to edit:       8
To allow perpetual editing:     9

It looks to be the large plurality to set the edit timer to allow posts to be edited up to four hours after posting.  I'll make the change now.  Thanks for your participation, all 50 if you.  And thanks for staying tuned here - to landracing.com.

SSS,
In the "wanted / for sale" threads, it would be convenient if there was still a way of indicating when an item is no longer wanted or has been sold in the subject line.

Just a thought, Don

Jee-zul-man, Steve -- Stainless asked and I did.  No big deal - and then you come along and goof up the works.

As for a way to say "no longer for sale" or "no longer wanted" -- I'll think on it, especially now that we've set that 4-hour editing limit in stone.  Of course -- I expect that there are MANY instances when the seller or wanter/buyer gets his part of the deal completed - and forgets to remove the topic (or even forgets to ask me to do that).  Think of it like those "Vote for Mr. Blah-Blah" election sugns that don't get removed after election day.

Did the word filter attack my post????? You cannot even say W-O-R-K anymore, and it inserts Goof-Off.  LOL. LOL. My post was fine when I last looked at it last night. What happened?

Tom G.

PS. Slim, to throw a wrench in the Poll, it was 25 votes for 4 hours or less, and 25 votes for 12 hours or more. LOL. How do you say compromise. LOL. I am fine with the 4 hours, just had to have some fun. Thanks.

It also explains the head-scratcher in SSS's joke.
