I edit all the time and I almost never make an edit disclaimer. I don't feel any need to disclaim that I'm editing something, I'm not a professional broadcasting service or anything. I'm simply a person writing stuff. I can write whatever I want and how I want it. Everything I write is well intended (IMO), editing is servicing to communicate whatever I want to say better. If whatever I write is too out of line, I'll see it in the amount of down votes.
And yes, that editing includes this comment. I've edited it as well (9 times now, I think, could you imagine me writing 4 to 5 edit disclaimers every comment? I know I can't). What I simply can't stand is a blinking cursor and then needing to read my text. I like to read my text in the presentation as others see it, which is why I edit so much. It's a quirk I have, I don't see any issues with it. And even if others see issues with it, I don't think I'm going to change the way I write comments.
After an hour you can't edit anyway, so I always view comments over an hour ago as "canon".
With that said, sometimes it can be useful to indicate that you've edited. This is especially the case when someone quotes you and you've deleted that text, stuff like that.
