Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I do it, and try to remember to leave a note saying that I did (i.e., a post saying "Yo, so-and-so, I edited your post to close an errant tag). But I think I sometimes forget to leave the note.

I don't have a problem with doing it, but I think we should make a note of it, along the lines of "The stompies may edit your posts if a formatting error is causing problems with other posts in the thread. Don't be alarmed -- we won't do anything more invasive than that unless there's a spoiler violation or you're nattering in Press or Beep Me."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'd hate for an edited by ita tag to be misunderstood
I just realize / figger that I failed to close a tag.

If there were any transgressions larger to that, I assumer there would be a note. Turning the board 15 degrees to the right cause I forgot a slash to close an italic tag, NSM.

Um, long way to say, the current way works for me.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What DX, PM, amych said. Except I always remember to leave a note. :P

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I know this is a silly question, but why do people *search* for www.buffistas.org? Why not just type it into the location bar?!

I do it all the time. Part of the reason is that-- I think this has to do with having the google toolbar-- if I type in an address it can't resolve it brings up the search results; without thinking, I type the address into the search box instead of the address box.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I will fix all your wrongheaded posts. And all the posts where you disagree with me. Filter? I don't need no steenkin' filter!

No, just kidding. I rarely edit tags, but if it turns up necessary I don't have any problem doing it. I do try to leave a note though, just 'cause.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
