By the way, what does the star mean that sometimes appears after the commenting time? On this comment (to which I reply), I see "02 March 2009 03:18:52PM*", and on the comment below I see "02 March 2009 05:57:13PM", without the star.
I think it means the comment has been edited.
EDIT: This is a test of said hypothesis. SECOND EDIT: The experiment supports the hypothesis.
Nice gag. I wonder whether the children of today understand the scientific method better because they learn to use computers.
Also, time is that of original posting, not of the last modification.
There is only a certain window of time (a few minutes, from memory) during which edits can be made, reducing the need for the extra complexity of implementing it.
Then again, maybe not. Hmm. Official word?
I second this request.
I third this request, especially since there seems to be no time limit on edits (I can still edit a comment made on Feb. 27th, more than one month ago).
It would hurt (a bit). Never underestimate the sophistication overhead: it adds up until you drown.
