Ask HN: Does comment editing on HN cause bad habits on the web?
Hacker News is the only site I know where you can edit your comments... this has trained me to be a little sloppy in the initial post and make edits after submitting. I've noticed that I'm starting to do this on other sites, only to find that I can't edit posts! Has anyone else had this problem?

- yalurker 16y agoMany sites allow editing, often a post is editable for a couple minutes or until someone has responded. Some forums allow editing even after that. I see nothing unusual about commenting conventions on Hacker News.
