I always read mail list email backwards.  That is, new messages in 
reverse time order since the last batch I read so threading is more or 
less irrelevant.  If a conversation is interesting, I'll remember it 
from one message to the next.  If it isn't, it doesn't matter and 
threading won't make it better.

Anyway, that means I generally see edited messages before the originals 
so even though they seem a little strange on a mail list it is not a big 
problem.  I think the forum has attracted a few people that weren't 
familiar with mail list etiquette but I'm not sure that's a bad thing. 
I'd rather see people able to ask for help even if they haven't first 
learned the exact procedure you want them to use.
