Editing Time stamps

It's pretty annoying since I make small edits all the time to adjust wording and not because I constantly stealth edit my content ...

I feel like I'm being singled out by this feature when it's really intrusive since it takes up a notable amount of page space and it's always in bold too ...

If there's no option to keep it anonymous then the edit timestamp should be placed right beside the timestamp of the original post ...

I'm a notorious post editor - sometimes the minor alterations I make will go into double figures. In fact I've been caught out when editing something and someone has quoted me, and so then I edited back to match the quote for it to make sense, and in the meantime someone else quoted my edited post!

So I think the edit tag is good, because it makes it clear that your post has been updated at some point during a discussion, even if it is to adjust wording or correct a typo. And it is a fairly standard feature to find on most message boards.

Now, if the edit tag then went on to say that you'd edited the post 37 times, I might just have an issue with that...
