Even in Confer days some people quoted entire items to keep them from
being deleted by their owners.  So this is quite an old issue.

Although this seems like an interesting twist, it doesn't affect the
editing discussion because this issue of quoted text could occur (and
has) even without editing.  This is getting into "business policy"
territory rather than technical (although the BP might be implemented as
a technical solution).  One solution is to allow moderation due to the
number of people and competing interests that might be involved.  And of
course, we don't like *COUGH* moderation.

One thing to consider would be a time limit. One site I frequent allows
editing but only for 90 minutes after the response is entered.

a time limit isn't possible with backtalk, so unless we switch
conferencing systems that's off the table.  I absolutely support editing
of responses, as I've stated previously.
