Most of my edits occur within the first few minutes of posting to correct typos and whatnot. However, I love the way some of the threads on the GS/CD forum are regularly updated... especially the diagnostic journeys and the Gluten File.

I was reading this thread (
http://forums.braintalk2.org/showthr...?t=1200&page=2 post#13) and found it very disconcerting to see that Swift's thread was editted by kimmydawn. At the time, I did not know she was an administrator. From reading the rest of the thread, it seems the post was editted to spell out cerebral palsy, making it easier for the rest of the world to read it. Anyway, with the talk of not wanting folks to "change history," why are moderators allowed to edit and put words in our mouths? I can understand when moderators lock threads and delete a lot of imflammatory words, but spelling out cerebral palsy? Or did Swift request it? Or was there more to that post I don't know about? (Swift has always struck me as pretty polite, so I don't think it was an imflammatory post.) I assume you can't easily allow one person to edit one specific post from 6 months ago for a 24 hour time period?
Anyway, I don't know what the answer is. I just know I was upset to see Swift's post editted by kimmydawn and no reason given as to why.
