Re: Redaction request
Your responses to the redaction request were absolutely clear. No post-edits. Then: multiple replacements of name by ***. Some of us have looked worse idiots than the OP ever did, and basically live with it. Why the change (well, complete reversal) in policy? It sets a truly crazy precedent with who knows what consequences.

Re: Redaction request
What?You guys did an edit? I think I can speak as the leader for people who post stupid things and normally you just look back and cringe or laugh. That is what learning is all about. IF you posted deep questions, people would charge to provide answers. Simple questions often help others with similar misunderstandings. Revisionism just for the heck of it seems to create all kinds of problems. On 3/6/10, Fergus fer...@bonhard.uklinux.net wrote: Your responses to the redaction request were absolutely clear.

It basically says that anything in the archive stays there and can't be edited or removed once it gets there. In other words there are no redactions made after the post is committed. Generally speaking though wanting to or actually removing/modifying statements already made public draws extra attention and tends to cause the opposite of what is intended.

Re: Redaction request
I doubt if there is anything of significance in this case- unlikely anyone cared really but there are several larger issues. Certainly you could argue about clutter and quality control but dumb questions do come up quite often. Revisionism and cherry picking are huge problems in many areas and don't serve any greater good. People do stupid things, and often those stupid things have value to others beyond what they say about the original actors in the event. So now you need to hire a censor to make free help available? LOL. On 3/6/10, Robert Pendell shi...@elite-systems.org wrote: On Sat, Mar 6, 2010 at 3:14 PM, mike marchywka wrote: What?You guys did an edit?
