I have cable access and am currently sitting around all day waiting for the baby to decide it would have more room out than in. Is there anything I can do to help?

eta: You can tell me no. I won't cry. I promise.

Would someone please program a Deena -bot poster, so that when she leaves us to have that new baby (and during the busy-ness that the new baby is sure to bring), we can at least have a cheap and meaningless relationship with her double? t /marzipan in my pie plate

edited to ask a question that actually belongs here

This question belongs partly in Bureaucracy and partly here, but if the parts that belong here can't be done, there's no sense addressing the bureaucratic side of the issue, so here goes:

Is there any way to program the board to limit how long the edit/delete option is available? I remember WXing allowed edits for a half hour. And while I thought that was a bit too strict, I'm wondering about some sort of limit. It doesn't seem right to me that someone could come back days or weeks later and edit.

It doesn't seem right to me that someone could come back days or weeks later and edit.

That was considered a feature when we were discussing design early on. People didn't like the edit limit.

I think having no edit limit, but time-stamping the actual edits, as we do, is the ideal solution. You can't rewrite history without leaving a trace.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, officially in love with threadsuck.

Yes, it rules.

Thank you, board creators!

Thank you for leaving off the limit. I posted a story chunk around midnight last and only spotted the typo half an hour ago. Was glad to fix it and not have that enshrined forever.
