all evidence to the contraryYou can make separate points without this weird "fake edit" affectation.
Thanks, Dick; it's not a "fake affectation", I do it when I make a substantial alteration after initially posting to note that its not an "edit" per se, for grammar/spelling/wording of the same content but an addition of new content. I could just say "Edit" but that doesn't capture the spirit of what I am doing as precisely as I like. Sorry you don't like it but guess what? I don't care. I could write in a completely different style and send it to you for approval before I post it but I am not doing that, either. Hope that helps.You can make separate points without this weird "fake edit" affectation.

Nah, you're the one that's butt over a word that used to denote when something was added close to the time of original posting yet not part of the original post, and frankly I don't give a fuck what you think.Extreme butt hurt intensifies.
Pretty sure you care enough to argue your point in a response so you definitely care some.
In any case, your attempt to "capture the spirit" fails because reading "fake edit" makes it seem like you had it as part of your original post, especially when your "fake edit" is half the post. Fake implies it was not an edit in any sense when you actually intend otherwise. Edit perfectly encapsulates what you think "fake edit" does, as many people use that when adding new content to a post.
Back to school for you.
I really had no idea what fake edit meant until you spelled it out, but I guess that makes sense. I have been calling that "quick edit" to denote that it was made before the forum put an "Edited at" timestamp at the bottom.Nah, you're the one that's butt over a word that used to denote when something was added close to the time of original posting yet not part of the original post, and frankly I don't give a fuck what you think.
Feel free to continue policing the forum as you will. It makes no difference to me.
My apologies, I guess I am idiosyncratic in my writing (and many other things) in middle/old age. I didn't feel right to have people potentially quoting/responding to something that wasn't there but then was immediately added effectively extending the writing process beyond the initial posting. Sometimes I just have to get it on the page as it were but then think of points or things need to be added, but people could be responding to the initial post. I wasn't trying to "affect" anything but rather to more accurately describe where that came in my writing process.I really had no idea what fake edit meant until you spelled it out, but I guess that makes sense.
