in thread PM Feature Idea: optionally add short comment on update

I'm ambivalent about prepending or appending additional text and flashing lights. Some nodes cry out for headlines:

Update: I really goofed here, don't use this!

Since it's easy enough to put suitable text anywhere in the node, I'm against any site code changes. I'd welcome conventions for update versioning, if something suitable is proposed. But serious documenting is rarely needed.

Making it easy for people to "do the right thing" generally pays off. In this case the change would be fairly light weight, doesn't stop people doing it differently if they want, and wouldn't be particuarly "in your face". We'll see what other comments are made, but I'm inclined to do this. Perl is Huffman encoded by design.	[reply]
