I spend half my time editing my posts, so my answer is no. On the other hand, it would save me time if I couldnt edit them.

EDIT 1: grammar in first sentence

EDIT 2: added second sentence

EDIT 3: fixed typo in description of EDIT 2

EDIT 4: Added smilie for effect

That makes it clear the inconclusiveness of the present question. I'm pretty sure the aforementioned Godz have not said anything on the topic at hand.

[Edit] On the other hand, The Ming™ said "TOTALLY". And he said "That's right". Which added to the inconclusiveness rather, I think.

The Ming™ is a dark entitity who (along with his shifty sidekick and brother Lord Rah, Overlord of Ferrets) secretly infiltrated, currupted and eventually took over the Universe. The entities DanQ and Markos were kept as powerless figure heads to hide the truth from the masses.

Rumours hint of other dark entities who shall remain nameless (because I couldn't be bothered typing their names in) are secretly planning a counter revolution.

I was under the impression that the proper form is "GodZ", not "Godz".

Afterall, for those of us with mod priviledges in various forums, we receive our SpellZ from the GodZ.

In other words, he's the enforcer and carries around a big stick to strike those who defy the GodZ.

Moving away from the nascent 'poly metaphysical/religious discussion here, then edit functions are vital so that ordinary posters can remain unbanned. If, for example, I was to call Dr Spikey a very nice chap indeed, and someone was to call my attention to the offensive nature of this remark, then I could edit it and avoid any offense, and any need for mod action. This is not to encourage people to post all kinds of rude words and then alter them as soon as they see Ming and rah on the "members online" list on the front page, as these posts can still be reported to mods, with a description of why said post offends them.
