This looks about as good a place as any to ask this...
While I'm not terribly new here, I was concerned about the edits to my posts. Being mostly brain damaged, I post suggestions... then after thinking about them, i realize something I said was dumb, unintelligible, or just wrong. so i edit. I try to do this mostly in the preview, but sometimes (on rare occasions) I have found myself editing a longer post as many as five or six times for better clarification, or if moments later I suddenly think of something else...
My question: Does every edit pester the fool out of someone's email if they are subscribed to that post? ie- they get an email for every time I edit?

Hi cbek, I can't answer your question about e-mail notification but I can say that I think if more members were as concerned as you about their posts this would be an even better site. A quick view of your past responses shows a lot of thought and insight. If you are brain damaged then we must have some dead people posting around here!

:) Thanks. While there may be a few dead, there's quite a few in a constant state of active brilliance... If I ever meet them, I will bow down. :D
[Edit: after reading your profile and a few posts, perhaps you will be one of the ones I bow to!]

To answer your question no they don't get an email unless someone else posts a new reply, if you were to delete your post and then post a new one then it would email people who are subscribed.

You certainly don't want to bow to me! I still tap on stuff myself... and sometimes break it! :lol2: Anyways, now you have the answer to your question so you can edit away!
