Leon,
There is no doubt that allowing self-editing of posts improves the quality and tone of the content on this board for reasons stated. Moreover, not allowing self-editing would have a chilling effect--without the ability to control their own content, many people would elect not to post at all. Nor do I think it is wise to place a time limit on self-editing. The more time that passes, the more opportunity people have to reconsider an issue, yielding better reasons for revisiting a post.
