Editing Old Entries

Sean has issued his own challenge to me.  Basically, I'm not allowed to reedit / touch-up old entries.

Thing is, as far as I know, I think I've been pretty good about not doing that.  The only time I've "touched up" an entry is when I realize I put in an incorrect URL or made an obvious mistake in spelling. ("Scorpian"?  "Scorpion"?) and then it's usually 10 seconds after it's been posted and I'm rereading it on my site.  So, I think i'm doing ok, in that department.

However, I can imagine sometimes it may make sense to go back and tack on an adendum to an entry... The comprimise could be to manually enter a timestamp that says "Modified on:"
