this is on my personal list of things to do on w.e.o.

also an excellent suggestion.  however, given a preview option, i don't
think it'd be necessary to offer edit functionality.  can you imagine a user
posting an inflammatory comment, getting a response within the 4 hour
time-limit, then editing their comment to make the person responding look
like an idiot?  maybe you can't, but i can.  i don't think i wanna give
people that opportunity.
