Woomera old chap(s),
Im not trying to start a debate, dont get me wrong. I guess it depends on the definition of "edit". Removing a part of a post (offensive to some or not) construes "editing" in my book. Nuff said.
Hempy old fruit,
If you wish to be a purist, the definition of "edit" is as follows:
To prepare (written material) for publication or presentation, as by correcting, revising, or adapting.
To prepare an edition of for publication: edit a collection of short stories.
To modify or adapt so as to make suitable or acceptable: e.g. edited her remarks for presentation to a younger audience.
To supervise the publication of (a newspaper or magazine, for example).
To assemble the components of (a film or soundtrack, for example), as by cutting and splicing.
To eliminate; delete: e.g. edited out inappropriate sections.
I've highlighted those aspects of the definition of "edit" which specifically apply to my function as Moderator.
Why? Because it's our sand pit and we set the rules, to which you agreed!
When your "clients" dictate how they use the airspace which you are responsible for, I'll give some suggestion to proposing to management we give a free for all in PPRuNe. Don't hold your breath waiting for either to occur!
Quod erat demonstrandum!!!
