They all start like that in my head. But I end up writing a loving note instead.

To the others, learn to use preview. I'm tired of first-and-edit posts.

Don't be so sure... I bet ML could answer it with a simple query, but I doubt he would as being an editor whore is not something he'd want people competing for. Remember the final post count fiasco?

^ This. I do preview my posts before posting (many, many times). I still end up revising them a ton. The more I read them the more mistakes I find. I notice more errors on the page than I do in previews though.

I'm sure everyone here edits their posts for grammar, typos, clarity, etc. Only people who are really going to care are the ones who change the content 10 posts later with less-than-honest intentions anyway.

Just confess up: you've already wasted hours browsing through threads specifically looking for revisions and clicking on all of them.

That sounds like too much work. I'd probably prefer to write code to find the revisions first.

Yep, I almost always edit posts for typos (especially in quote names). Though, if I'm about to add something or change something I note that I've editted the post and most of the time leave the deleted content there only striking it.
