Should people be able to edit comments if there are more comments in the thread than are shown in the in-page preview? It seems like that runs the risk of unknowingly changing context out from under later comments that you haven't looked at. We should (all) think more about comment edits. Someplace Else has a five-minute time limit, which can feel too short. (I've had it time out while making an edit to a complex comment.) A blogging platform I use allows comment edits at any time *until* there's a reply. Maybe there are other approaches. I'd like us to figure out when comment editing should be possible at all, and then we can tackle better ways to access the function.
