What the FSCK is the matter with people? I've posted reasonable
corrections or questions in reply to a few posts and then people
either edit their posts so history is totally fscked, or they rail
against me (in the CB as well) and THEN edit their posts to correct
their originals, with no mention of the fact made in the post. Is
there or is there not a history at this site? My suggestion is that
NOONE be allowed to change the content of their posts *period*. Either
make it simply impossible or at the very least make it only possible
to *append* to a post (at least an appendum is obvious). Changing
history is bad bad bad! No, it is worse than bad, it is a lie. Will
we support outright lying? What the hell is the problem with just
adding a correction instead of rewriting the answer or the code or
whatever? Doesn't anyone here have any freaking integrity?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
