...I agree with waht you have said, and now feel (slightly) sorry for DoW's.
However, should you not develop a way of not allowing people to either delete their posts or edit them after a set period of time - or after when a subsequent post is made. The edit facility is excellent, but most people use it within a few minutes of posting, do they not??? (Probably for typing or grammatic errors).
This might end the confusion and prevents 'poor' people getting the blame.
Just a thought. What do you think ?
