With email systems it is not a matter of allowing or denying this feature. It is in the nature of the system that once the email has been sent it cannot be retrieved. In respect of other forums, I have been on forums where sometimes it is allowed and some where it is not. Whether a forum does or does not is not an indication of what is right or wrong in this regard.

It simply is not an issue for me and personally I like it. You have a problem with JR but I fail to understand how he can time his post-change before you are able to reply to it. And even if he could, so what? Just auto quote what you were replying to and the community will see it for what it is.

In all the years I have been here I have never had a problem with a "post change" as I simply reply to whatever the post was, not what it may subsequently have been changed to.
