Not really. There are a lot of reasons why we ought to be able to edit posts in the classifieds. You know, like price updates, quantities available, etc. What are we supposed to do, delete the ad and post a new one any time we want to make a change in a listing? You really want us re-listing the same items over and over? Why not just allow discreet editing abilities? Seem like that would be much less disruptive to the order of listings in the classifieds section.
Patracy, you made a comment in the post that you deleted about how it was 'interesting' that I referred to items advertised in the classifieds as 'inventory'. Not sure what's so interesting about that, but based on your line of questioning about the nature of my businesses and some of the images I've posted, seemed like you're wondering if I'm trying to skirt around paying a fee to be a vendor. Back before we had to pay to list items in the classifieds, I donated $5 for every pair of hubsteps that I sold through this site. I've also given a lot of stuff away, from hubsteps and towbars, as a way to say thanks for all the help I've received from members of this community. Dunno how you define 'vendors', but I consider myself a contributing member of this community. Like a lot of guys, I watch the auctions and once in a while, buy a lot of something (like towbars). When I've done that, and listed items for sale here, I've offered them to members at very fair prices. A lot of members seem to be doing stuff like that, and the rest of us appreciate it. I've bought everything from LED headlights to electric fans from members on here who'd purchased huge quantities of stuff to resell. Does that make all of us vendors? Honest question. Speaking for myself, I don't consider what I'm doing to be a money-making venture. If anything, it's helping (not much) to subsidize a hobby. We're all here to help each other out.
On a related note, I've had a one-line signature with links to my businesses for the last five years. Noticed that you edited my signature and deleted those links recently. At least two of them, not sure why you left the third. No big deal and I guess that was against the rules (sorry, didn't realize). But the timing is kinda funny, after our recent exchanges regarding rules and other issues related to the way this site is run. My critical input is meant to be constructive, and that kind of petty retaliation is just... lame. Lets work together to make this place everything it can/should be.
