Two years before the light-rail system opens, private investors are starting to pump more than $1 billion into new developments near the rail stations.
then i expect this place to go down hill fast as trolls and people who don't like or can't take criticism will edit their comments.
part of the good that was the old site was the fact that when you posted you cannot change what you posted, it forced you to think about what you post. it also helped keeping these two kinds of people in check as they can't edit their posts on a whim.
as for using it to correct errors, type your reply in a word processor then copy and paste it into the reply box.
You wont be able to edit your comments after someone has replied to them. And as for a word processor...just use Firefox, as it has it's own built in spell checker ~_~
Beware email scams claiming to be from this site. We do not have any job openings. If anyone contacts you about a job at The Oil Drum, do not reply to them, and definitely do not give them any personal information or send them money. Read more here.

It is truly a great gift to us all.
All the best to you and yours,
You know, 8-track tapes and albums were just fine...we should have stopped there.

that should have read "Alan fbe"
It will look and work pretty much like the current site, at least from the ordinary user's viewpoint.
Except that there will be an edit button. :)
Will there also be an "ignore" button
... for getting around some of those tiresome troll versus goat debates?
And I say it declines like this! P.S. Your mother wears Gruffy Billy Boots.

Are we being cheeky or is there really a spell checker in FireFox?
And if so, how does one turn it on?
p.s. some blog servers do provide a spell checker for comments
Its in the new version Firefox 2.0
