And then people wonder whether quoted text really aligns with the original post, whether "sort by post date/time" actually means what it says, and whether people have actually changed their stance while editing a post. No thank you. In accounting, git repositories, and mailing lists, you cannot edit the past - you can only post a follow-up.
