Can I request that admin does not edit posts of members? I've just seen yet another edit of a post by horseydave which occurred some time after the original post. Unless one constantly goes back to read posts, such edits might be missed, and anyway it's not really on to edit members' posts in my opinion.

I am glad to see that you take this view, its a great pity that you did not take the same view, of the DPP editing the witness statements and later forwarding them for the police officers to sign...
You and others now know, that it was wrong for the DPP to do what they did, and then for the CCRC to refer to those witnessed statements as though they were more significant than the crime scene photographs which show that Sheila's body was moved and stage managed by the police...
Thank you for helping to make that point more poignant...
Nobody should be allowed to edit comments, or statements made by other people, without their knowledge, or consent, or permission...
Imagine the consequences, for Jeremy Bamber?
None of this explains why you edited another user's post.
-----------------------------
it has been explained elsewhere, but just to recap, I inadvertently pressed the "modify" button, instead of the "quote" button, on the console, which are side by side, or next to each other. The only difference being that where I posted my comments in response to the other [persons comments, instead of them being attached after a "Quote" symbol, my comments simply attached themselves after the comments of the other party, they were not inserted into the body of comment that person posted, and did not alter what that person said, unless you take the view that the attached comments made by me, were viewed as part of the original content...
Once the mistake was identified, I could have removed my comments altogether, or added in my details to show that the attached comments on the end of the posters comments were mine, not theirs...
I chose to leave my comments there, and added my name to them, so that the mistake which was made could be readily identified to everyone, as having been a genuine mistake...
It is not true that I edited anyones postings, in the sense that I changed anything anyone posted, but it is true that I added my comments as an attachment at the end of what someone else said, or I may have attached an image in the same way...
I pressed the "modify" button, instead of the "quote" button, when posting - this mistake will not happen again, and there is nothing further I can say about it...
