I have a suggestion for a perfect weekend ;D I hear Barcelona is a pretty place for a birthday weekend ;D
Oh and btw, I quit my job today. The pace was incredibly high, I'm all alone to do it and even my collegues, who are assigned at other departments agree with me that the pace is too high.

@ Hildor: Well, good luck coming up with a solution! I'm sure you'll think of something affordable. @ Gal: Good luck finding a new job! Yeah, if the pace is too fast, you just won't last... Good thing you quit.

Ah, good. I like being right! ;D
Just a shame we can't get rid of the annoying edit tag. I get that a lot myself for the odd spelling mistake correction and it IS annoying.

You can't get rid of it as it's an anti fake abuse mechanism, from when people would make an inflammatory post that is guaranteed to get lots of strong replies, and then after they've got a sufficient amount (and before the moderators get on) edit their post to something that is very mild and moderate, before promptly reporting everyone else in the thread for abuse.

Aaargh I hate this programming project for college. And I hate even more that it's due within three days! I really have to change my habits regarding college work...which is what I'm really going to do from this moment on.

It's for cases like that you save the history of editing with each post. IE you save the "difference" between the old and the new post in the database, but only display the new post. Übereil

aye, However the edit tag still allows other users to see that the post has changed since the offending comments, and so may stop a flame war about nothing.

Maybe if the change had to be above five characters (or something similiar) to show. Getting it because you forgot a period is kind of annoying.

I can think of a few instances where a change of 1 or 2 characters in a post can change the meaning of it completely. Esp. if you're including punctuation.
Example from wiki - "woman, without her man, is nothing," and "woman: without her, man is nothing,"

Joy! I tripped over my cat last night, woke up a few moments later with my neck in a weird twist and a busted lip! The stuff i had to do not to fall on her would have been amazing if I remembered it. Now I'm all black and blue and my lip looks like I've been visiting a plastic surgeon
