the time limit is important because it would prevent circumstances like 
when valerie mates decided to leave grex and decided to delete all of 
his past posts she ever made here going back years.

I think both are advisable.

re #169 but on grex you don't own your own responses because you can't 
edit them.  If you write a column in the newspaper, you can't 
retroactively go back and remove all the printed columns because they 
have been printed and everybody has already read them.  They are part 
of the paper's record. I'm all for time-limited editing and deleting, 
say for twelve or twenty four hours or something, but there should come 
a point where the post is considered 'published' and is part of Grex's 
record.  Valerie should not have been allowed to go back and delete all 
her old posts because it makes some items in the old conferences, if 
you went back and read them, not make sense.  Instead of a conference 
that reads like a whole work from a particular point in time, you have 
some old confs that now are full of holes because of what she did.
