I was just after editing privileges because I'm a horrible typist and often want to correct smelling pistakes. So having to enter a reason all the time would be a ballache.

Keep the edit window small — 30 min is plenty, 60 min at the outside. More than that can create weirdness — see Facebook for examples!

Yeah, I'm probably with WDB on that.

....is 30 minutes long enough for Al to realise that he's embarrassingly posted that he's got a Honda, rather than a Zonda....?

I'm not sure we're quite on the scale of Faecesbook here (no that I've ever used it), and the consequences of a late edit would be commensurately smaller. But no matter, an hour should be enough time for me to write something horribly typed, go away and do what I'm supposed to be doing, then come back and spot my mistakes. If that's the majority view then fine but I'm really not sure I see the need for any editing time restrictions in the context of this wee place and its contributors.
Could always get the staff to proofread for me I suppose. The bloody gardener's out there leaning on his shovel again, the blasted malingerer. Suppose I have to teach the blighter to read now, then he's going to get ideas way above his station.

...OK. As Al was the original requestor, and 60 minutes seems to be getting some support, I'll await any further input for an hour or so, and if there are no gainsayers, 60 minutes it will become. I didn't want this job, anyway!

You could set fire to either I suppose.
