E.G.

I’m a bit conflicted about modifying posts.  On the one hand, I sometimes find it annoying when I come back to a post I’ve already read and the author has changed it without telling us, because I’m never sure if I’m misremembering the original.  On the other hand, when I notice slight errors in my own posts, I want to fix those errors, but it seems a little pretentious to put up an "UPDATE" notice every time I do that.

I don’t know what other bloggers’ policies are, but I think the one I’ll adopt here, at least for now, is: Posts are works in progress.  If something big gets changed, I’ll note the change within the post, but I’ll routinely fix slight mistakes without any notice at all. 

I hope this policy doesn’t annoy either of my loyal readers (Limbaugh and the German guy).
