Hi Minnemooseus,
One problem with the removal of the Edit function would be in the repair of links. While I try to use spell checker and other things to help my posts I often do not find the errors in the links until I post and find out that they do not work. And with a post number limit it would add to the problem of re-posting links.
As a sidenote concerning debates, I have a massive grant (yes we do grants in industrial biotech
) due in Jan. and hope to be able to rejoin the debates after I sleep for a month.
