LOL, as they say.

You learn something new every day. I did not realize that an umpire could wake up in the morning and change one of HIS well thought out postings after a re-read. I think I've seen a lot of situations (little content / lots of accusations) where the authors would have been well advised to do just that (if you think this means you, the reader, it probably does).
If you EDIT your post does it appear as "edited". If you DELETE your post should a message be retained that you have withdrawn it? I don't anticipate a lot of umpires doing this since we have progressed to a kinder gentler Forum and posts are much more well thought out. It might help the sense of the thread when subsequent posts reflect a deleted post. Kind of like the envelope and postmark stays but the letter disappears.Thanks. Jim Simms/NYC

Jim: Take a look at the tiny icons at the bottom of every posted message. One of them says: Edit/delete.
If you edit a post, it will say so at the bottom. (Now I just wrote "botom" there. I'm going to post the message, go in an edit it, and it will read "bottom" by the time you see it. There will a statement at the bootm of the edited post informing you that I did, indeed, edit that post around 6:55 am central time.)
Then, I'm going to write a message that says Jim Simms voted for Hillary Clinton. (I would have.) Then, I'm going to delete it, and you'll see the result.
I can edit/delete ONLY my own messages. The same holds true for you.
NOTE: I'm editing again by adding this paragraph at 6:59 am central time. The notation that I edited this post earlier is not appearing now. It is possible the Admin has changed the program some. I'm still going to try to accuse Jim of voting for a Democrat in the last election.
Final note added around 7:03: I get it. Simply correcting a typo (changing "botom" to "bottom") doesn't satisfy the program as an edit. But adding an enitre paragraph, as I did above and here, does.
