I did update the initial post...
I don't recall where I read this, nor do I really know where all it may have happened, BUT...
It has been noted by someone, that you have a habit of substantially editing your previous messages, long after they've been replied to. An example I have found, is
message 1 of the "Bible inerrancy is well supported" topic. You posted that message on 1/13/03, and then did edits on 2/3/04, 2/4/04, 2/4/04, 2/9/04, and 2/10/04.
While it is not totally improper to go back and edit things, it isn't really proper to change the content after the topic has proceeded.
If you must go back and edit old messages, it's only right that you ADD information, to correct or clarify what you were saying. Please preserve what you said initially, and make clear what content is by what later edit.
Essentially, I think that the original content of messages should remain the same, after the message is posted. Original messages should not be "updated". Updating your thoughts is what subsequent messages are for.

ADDED BY EDIT: All the above said, this is a "Links" forum topic, and not really a debate topic. And anyhow, there are way too many diverse topic points in the opening message, for it to be a proper debate topic. I'm closing it down.
2nd EDIT: To add the showing of my "signature".
