Well, hdb, I can understand your point, but at the same time, I can testify that when I posted my answer yesterday evening UTC time, cheako's post only had the three first lines of its current content -- not really something tremendously useful in the context. I think that most of us agree that, when we modify our posts, we should make it clear, especially when the change is so substantive and after other answers have been posted. Quite often, when I update one of my previous posts, I even make the effort of stating clearly the UTC date and time when I do it, in order to be very clear on that. cheako did not do any of that, and I can also testify that I have seen at least another instance of him/her doing the same thing on another post.

@ cheako: please don't consider this as a personal attack, it is not an attack. You are new in the Monastery, and I fully appreciate that you may not be aware of the commonly accepted behavior around here.

Je suis Charlie.
