For the sake of typos/clarity, and in the case of accidents, like someone mentioned they sent a half-finished post by mistake, or leaving off pertinent information, I would very much like to see some editing option implimented.
I know it has been 6 years... but that is part of the nature of a wish, isn't it? *grin*

I would have the original post remain where and how it was, then below it, in the same box as the original, have the word "Edited:", in bold, with the time and date of the edit. I do NOT think that more than an hour should be allowed to post an edit.

Although, perhaps it would be useful to allow users to 'link' their additions to their original comment, and have that link appear with the original comment, to their new 'edit', but still have the edit in line with other users comments in the order that they were posted.

As for the e-mail notifications, I wouldn't change them, except to include the edits (having them notated as such in the e-mail), but otherwise behave as normal, treating edits and/or linked comments as new posts.

In the case of the link-to-edit, the bold "Edited:" could be replaced with "Additional Comment: Added dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm"
