I can ask the guy that does own the box but he's pretty busy and also not wildly enthusiastic about installing plugins that may or may not compromise security (given that I shall be emailing him the moment something bad happens).

And Adam is indomitably lazy. Adam, get on this! The villagers grow restless.

A few days ago I piped up with a suggestion about adding an edit button. Adam responded: <blockquote>Letting people edit their own comments can lead to misleading comment chains and anarchy in the streets.</blockquote> Is there anyway to let us lowly commenters have an edit feature for say two minutes after writing the post? That'd let us catch typos and such without the risk of screwing with the logic of the thread since the edit window would be so short. It's not really a big deal, and I wouldn't be crushed if there's no way to implement it, but it'd be a nice perk.

Something tells me that being a debate coach in a private school might not be the safest job in the emerging Road Warrior economy. Wait six weeks, and I might be headed there as an economic refugee.
