Edit Function

Dear Spare Editor,
It would be lovely to be able to have an edit button so posters can correct spelling mistakes or more pertinently auto-correct mistakes. Many forums work well with edit buttons, and it would stop the tedious correction posts which follow these mistakes.
This would make a perfect Christmas present for those of us who are so fired up to get our two penneth in, we do not take the time to proof read our answers.
Kind Regards

An Edit function works on other forums and can show 'edited' in the post if needed . Its pure conjecture that a poster would change the whole context of their post through editing - I've never seen it happen on any forum or newsgroup I've been on, and it could easily be addressed through Site Rules
This site was full of trolls years back so I think that has something to do with it.
This laptop I'm using now, I don't know what I accidently hit but it takes out words. I know I've typed them because I've read it but when I submit words are missing.
A general typo though....I rarely notice. You know what someone is saying so the brain ignores the odd spelling mistake.
