Double posting is against the rules just so you know. Use the edit button.

That's why we have modifications that "auto-merge" your post if it is in fact a double post. But apparently either Brian's too lazy or some other reason is making him not install such a modification.

You act like it's absolutely required for every forum to have such a mod. Question, what's more of a hassle, us installing a modification and getting it to work right or you remembering to click on "Edit" instead of "Reply"?

Before I answer,

A.] Are the edit AND reply buttons fixed so they have alt text that describes them accordingly? - Does (Ignore)

B.] What if the person trying to click the edit button can't get to editing because it requires javaScript and that their browser doesn't support AJAX/that type of javaScript?

etc...

Then they shouldn't even be on this forum because they are using a retarded browser.

I take a bit of offense on calling Brian lazy for not installing an optional mod. It's lazier to make a new post rather than edit an old one.

I'll try to be careful from now on then. Feel free to lock this at your leisure.
