Is it really necessary to place an "edited" label beneath an edited post, and if so why?

I think it lacks visual elegance and detracts from the message itself

If the thread after an edited post makes references to the original message then it can be useful to see that the poster has changed what they said.

Outr of curiosity Ted, do you keep the original and all subsequent changes made to a posting?
