Let me know the reason, there is a good lad or lassie

We are met to discuss our plans, our ways, means, policy and devices. We shall soon before the break of day start on our long journey, a journey from which some of us, or perhaps all of us (except our friends and counsellors, the ingenious spellers Squatter of Amon Rűdh and Rimbaud) may never return. It is a solemn moment. Our object is, I take it, well known to us all. To the estimable average newly deceased, and perhaps to one or two of the younger skeletons (I think I should be right in adding up some wights too, for instance), the exact situation at the moment may require a little brief explanation.

So be it. We are on the holy quest of keeping our spelling correct, our meaning clear, and our writing articulate. In pursuit of the high ideal of our mighty ancestors, we often find ourselves editing posts. And here, here is my humble request:

When editing the post, give a reason. There is a nice 'why' field to Edit window. If you dislike to use it, explain the reason in the post itself, under the heading of 'edit'.

For it is really weird to read the answer which has nothing to do with the post above. Yet one may deduct from the following post that once, in the days of yore, the preceding one was of astounding difference and than changed considerably.

I know that most of you make such an indication. I appeal to those few who don't. Be polite, let us know the reason, even if the reason is merely a mispelling you've noticed on second read only.

With deepest respect
