Please add possibility to edit own posts.
I just made a reply to a very, very long post and forgot to strip the quote... Now my reply is equally enormous. :(You can see it here.
The problem is that as long as NNTP is going to be supported, messages
have to be immutable, as there is no notification mechanism for edited
messages and the update would never reach users of NNTP readers that
have already cached the old message.
One idea would be to instead delete the old post and create a new one,
but that can only work as long as there are no replies to that message,
yet, or it will break threading. Also, there is also no notification
mechanism for deleted messages and it introduces race-conditions with
other posters who might be replying to the original post, so this also
won't be pretty either.
