When are we going to get one. I think my posting style is probably fairly distinctive due to very frequent multiple posts. This is because I tend to type before I've finished thinking and many of the extra posts could be avoided if we had an edit and/or a delete button!!! Why can't we have one?

What would you have posted instead? (the mind boggles!)

That the dog was doing it.

I was just an innocent bystander. I think I wrote we instead of she. Blush

PMSL!! You know I'm against the edit button now, just because of that!

Don't think you really wanted that second "l" in skulduggery, did you, Rowan? Hmm? Care to edit it? Grin Wink

I bet MNHQ can edit, they can do the quoting thing.

gaelicsheep · 14/02/2013 00:23

They can delete, they can definitely edit. In fact I bet they're going around editing all our old posts on the sly...

I bet they do Shock

I bet they edit our posts to make us have bunfights.

Screaminabdabs · 14/02/2013 00:25

Yes, there's one with OCD whose life work is correcting all the mistakes made from the beginning of MN time to the current day.

Screaminabdabs · 14/02/2013 00:26

I think you've got it there, usual. No-one ever says a bad thing, it's just them that make it up.

usualsuspect · 14/02/2013 00:27

They go around, editing our posts when we are not looking.

We all agree with each other really.

gaelicsheep · 14/02/2013 00:30

Oh stop talking cr*p usual!

OP posts:
gaelicsheep · 14/02/2013 00:30

What? I didn't say that! Grin

Yes I know, feeble.

They will be along to edit that in a minute, gaelic.

Screaminabdabs · 14/02/2013 01:16

There's the OCD one who corrects all the spelling mistakes, and her evil twin who changes every "Really good advice! Thank you so much!" into "Fuck off you cunt." So we will all end up looking like ill-mannered cunts who can spell exceptionally well.

Darn it. Wasn't sure and was too lazy to check.

Points and laughs at Rowan.

Maryz -you are so right. As I said earlier I changed my mind after HotPinkWeasel revealed her guilty secret Grin.

RowanMumsnet, if you would be so kind, would you edit the title of this thread to read "Please do not under any circumstances give us an edit/delete button?" Thank you.
