Interesting. (Though the whole RSS/Dave Winer/Mark Pilgrim saga isn't - at least not to me.)
Me, I frequently edit my posts to fix typos and the like. I occasionally go back and fix what I see as bad style, too - is that OK? I don't deliberately alter the meaning of my posts, but I suppose that it's possible that I do.
I also often add Update: sections at the bottom of old posts. Other than that, I leave them alone.

Posted to Blogs by Simon Brunning at July 14, 2003 12:09 PMWell, I for one would like to see that web pages generated by these weblogging softwarese are like every other web page out there; easy to correct and modify, but I guess it applies more to posts about technical issues and such. The kind of updating they are supposedly referring to is more like written conversation where the post remains as a historic record. But I don't know. Be that as it may, I will keep fixing my web pages, be they weblog entries or others, if need be. (Mostly typos and such.)

"What? You mean there isn't only one Mark Pilgrim?"
