In most cases just editing is OK but in some rare cases -especially when there's a discussion traffic between the question/answer and comment(s)- sometimes it doesn't seem fair just plainly editing the body text because then the comment(s) sounds to be meaningless and searching for the history is not easy/practical for everyone for all the times. However, limiting the useage, using that way with care would be fine. | |
