What do you think should be done if, after submitting an answer, we wish to add/delete/correct some aspect? Should we edit or submit a new post?
Many times the answer may seem obvious: minor changes (spelling, adding a reference, etc.) probably don't deserve a new post. But I mean the remaining cases.
"Old" Statalist, of course, provided no alternative. But I wonder, for example, how does this decision affect the behavior of RSS feeds (with the &lastpost=1 suffix) which may become popular in this new setting (easily tested). Would that effect be intentional?
PD/ There are two things I will miss for sure from the old-fashioned Statalist: i) checking the list in a conversation-like manner with my email app. ii) post-hoc corrections. These things made the list very friendly and personal.
