You only have an hour...

After that; your text is there, for everyone to see, for eternity!?ÿ

?ÿ

Edit: I take that back; looks like the cow is right...

Edit away!

Is it an hour??ÿ It seems that we can edit now much longer than whatever the time was sometime back.?ÿ Don't know what the edit time is, though.

If my comments are going to be removed in an hour, I'll start saying a lot more stupider stuff than I do now.?ÿ

Checked back to see how long the "EDIT" option pops up with posts I've made recently.?ÿ All from five days and two hours ago and newer indicate they can be edited.?ÿ Those older do not show that option.

So, if a post is less than five days and two hours old (plus/minus) then you should be able to edit it, including to the point of doing away with it entirely.

@oldpacer?ÿ

No no no no no.?ÿ Even the bad one's last until someone rat's out the poster to Wendell.?ÿ Then he delicately deletes them.

@tx-fieldhand

March 11, 2020 appears to be your most recent post prior to today.?ÿ I doubt that making changes to that one or earlier ones is possible, even for Wendell.

delicately deletes them

You mean like with tongs and oven mitts?

Off topic:?ÿ HC is not wearing his Spelling Police hat today.?ÿ No apostrophe on a plural, nor on the verb form: ones and rats.

If it has been awhile and you can't delete it yourself, send me a link privately or via email at support@surveyorconnect.com and I'll remove it for you.

@bill93?ÿ

Good job, Bill.?ÿ However, you missed the poor structure of my last sentence.

"Then he delicately deletes them."?ÿ This was intended to refer to the bad ones, but, could have just as easily referred to the posters who make the bad posts.?ÿ Termination of the poster's privileges, quietly and delicately, occurs without the rest of us even knowing Wendell did it 99 percent of the time.

However, I think explosives are more fun, to remove old posts.

My favorite is about a pentecostal preacher. He needed to remove a stump. He bought a supply of dynamite from the local hardware store. He augered holes into the stump. Set his charges. Lit the fuse, (quite short, as everything costs money), and turned to run. The old cow, (not Holy) had approached, curiously. It was too late. He screamed to her, waved his arms. He ducked. At the last moment, he looked. The charge went off. The cow jumped, lifted by the explosion, turned 180, pooped straight back, and hit the ground running. He told the story with tears, as he remembered. Pretty funny to hear him tell it. That old preacher is gone on to be with The Lord, but his story remains.
