I'm less strict now about quick editing, sometimes it can be a Good Thing.
May 8, 2011 at 17:26 comment added Timwi Fine if you don’t want to make trivial edits, but that is no reason to stop everyone else.
Feb 8, 2011 at 16:44 comment added endolith "Is it worth the bump just to fix it?" Maybe the real problem is that minor edits still cause a bump.
Jan 9, 2011 at 18:20 comment added ChrisF Mod You make a good point about not editing within the 5 minute grace window. I should follow that rule too more diligently.
Jan 9, 2011 at 13:07 comment added Arjan @Kop, then what about the excessive whitespace around the em dash? ;-) (That's another reason I'd never make such edit—I'm just too scared to not get it 100.00% right!)
Jan 9, 2011 at 12:56 comment added Andreas Bonini But let's not forget the typographically correct dashes! (In theory it should be —, not the one I replaced with, but that one is too long and looks very ugly)

Jan 9, 2011 at 12:51 comment added Oak It was funny :) but @Arjan raises an important issue so I've added it.

Jan 9, 2011 at 12:48 comment added Andreas Bonini I find it fun to do X in a post that discusses about X =)
Jan 9, 2011 at 12:47 comment added Arjan Now that was a trivial edit I'd never make, @Kop, and surely not within the author's edit grace period. Care to explain why you felt the urge to make it?
