Thinking out loud here...how would you know that a post you'd already read had been updated? The best thing would probably be to repost it, at which point, we might as well just repost. It's not that hard to copy and paste and re-edit. Personally, I don't mind the word wrap so much, but the increased text box size is *very* nice. The top of my wish list is a preview feature. I don't think that any delay or extra button or whatever is going to prevent that many mistakes, although putting a preview button before the send button would probably save a few people. A delay is a bad idea. I suspect that it will cause lots of complaining and double posting. Matt Lewis
