Just curious,

If I go back and edit one of my posting, does everybody else get another Email notification of the change ???

Note: I notice MY OWN posting do not show up WHEN I click "New Posts" ??

Thanks for responses.

Shortly after original posting, I sort of figured it out for myself.

1) If I go back and edit one of my posting [that has already triggered an Email distro] nobody is going to see it !!!

2) I have to tack a "new" posting on the end of the thread to send out Email notifications to others on the thread.

I don't believe a notification is sent out. Also, unless you're a moderator or admin, you can only edit a post in the first 24 hours.

John Will,

Seems like I have edited my posts that are MORE then 24 hours old.

Just don't think anybody else sees it.

John,

You're right -- the first post I can "Edit" would be #4. I never really checked the "dates" before.

Sometimes I get it right. Not always, but sometimes.
