Post subject: How many times do you edit a post?

I am edit-crazy. I know that only moderators can see how many times I edited my post until someone else posts, so I usually edit it like 10x. Maybe 20x. Odds are, this sentence alone has been edited at least five times. I actually do this on all the forums I post in, and some people have called me out on it.

Once it's locked in and someone else has posted after me, I feel like I should leave my entry alone unless the error is an obvious grammatical issue.

How about you? Am I the only one who's guilty of re-reading their posts and searching for errors?

(I bet I miss some too)

"That night, Eurynomos dreamed of animals. Animals he'd never seen before.
He dreamed of tigers fighting spiders. He dreamed an eagle screamed and struck down the sun.
His mind drew pictures of wolves hunting bears, of machines in chaotic landscapes,
of gods weeping and laughing in merriment as the animals played their primal games."

The number varies based on how tired I was but, I edited one of mine at least ten times. So it's good to know I'm not the only one.

Once or twice at least; maybe even three times or more. If I'm bored, sometimes I go back and re-read my posts and notice things that can be fixed.

I don't. I post and go with it. If I messed something up oh well. Unless it's really bad. Then I might go in and fix it.

I usually have to go back and edit at least once, usually no more than 3 times though. I do a lot of rereading and previewing before I ever hit the submit button though.

They say every thing a true author has ever written is just a work in progress.
