Subject: Re: Shameful Policy
The programmer in me makes me think there must be some technical limitation in the base software to easily providing an edit capability. Otherwise, TMF would have did it a long time ago giving the constant clamoring for such a feature.

The Fool did eventually offer that function on the paid side, and they also allowed charts (and perhaps pics, I don't know.) I doubt they did a full rewrite of their base code (but again, I don't know) so it seemed to me at the time it was just a way of differentiating between 'the poor slobs' and 'our elegant customers.' ;)

People who wandered in from the paid side had little incentive to stay on the free boards, so in today's vernacular, it was 'premiumizing' before that word became fashionable.

I wish Manlobbi would add some features here as well, but allowing graphics would likely eat far more server space, and I have no idea how he's paying for any of this in the first place. Correcting posts, I don't think, would be such a big deal but (all together now) 'I don't know.'
