Agreed; I don't proofread quite as rigorously as I should (and you only get to see so much of your post in preview anyway), and I often have to go back and edit. Call me old fashioned, but I like my posts to be legible and as grammatically correct as possible. Quite often I will have a couple of bites of the cherry. A five/ten minute window of banner free edits would be good.

It does amuse me though when people edit multiple times and don't think to delete the last edit, so you see multiple edits.

no one but the poster can edit so why repeat his name?

Not so. A moderator can also edit a post.

Mods can edit posts too, so the 'edited by' is actually useful.

See...

So why does it not say, "Edited by the current Moderator, Mrs Fish, on the 18th November 2005, because she spotted a cuss word a day after it should have been deleted by yesterday's Moderator who was down the pub." >> Edited by san francisco on Friday 18th November 11:13

It does!

But that's called "reading between the lines"....
