re: #56 DaddyG

I am in agreement on what you did. My advice (worth every penny you paid for it BTW) was about documenting the reasons for change as you make them or prior to any criticism of them.

Again, its a pretty minor point but one that can eliminate a dishonorable weapon of your critics.

Exactly, I guess it’s the fact that the footnote comes after the discovery of the edit which may give Charles’s enemies more ammo. In my perfect world, Charles would have noticed that his opinion had changed over the years on this hot button issue, mentioned the old post and the reason for the edit and taken the flack for that.
