GJZH,

If DocJohn is changing the rules "mid-stream", it's to give us an opportunity to decide if we want to expand the present status of this system that limits edits after 15 minutes or so. Since we got here, the system has restricted editing after a certain period of time. I only realized this when someone asked where their edit button went here in FF.

So DocJohn is actually engaging us to determine if we want a longer period to edit or unlimited ability to edit.

He runs PsychCentral in a certain way and has for years. That is the system he set up here, because it has worked for him at PsychCentral. But due to member concerns, he's decided to poll us to see if we want a longer period to edit our posts.

I'd say that's pretty generous of him.

I give DocJohn a lot of credit for being so accommodating with us and what we're used to. He hasn't changed any rules (editing was limited from the beginning), but he MAY change that if the majority of US would prefer to allow editing for an extended or unlimited period.

I think you might have misunderstood what was going on here. DocJohn is offering to give us MORE liberties here, not less.
