I can understand the desire that many forum members have for an edit feature. However, everyone already has an ability to edit posts before publishing. This feature is called the preview post button. Typos suck as at some time almost everybody encounters one, I get it. The forum might be a better place if we all took advantage of this feature. The preview post gives one a chance to think about if one really want to post what they have written... time to think before "speaking."

The inabilty to edit keeps us accountable for what we write.
