Hi, if someone gives personal information in an answer is it possible for someone to delete or edit the answer? It's quite easy to edit the original question but i've not seen a way of editing the answers/comments

Thanks and regards from

I´ve tried it too. But no luck so far. Guess it´s not possible. Perhaps the admin of this site?

Hello,

is there really no solution to this problem, i.e. is it possible to edit one's own post which is not the first post?

Hi :)

Thanks :)

I think some of the answers in there are getting quite ridiculous.

1. People are putting forwards the same ideas that are used against OpenSource and shown to be wrong. namely the expectation that users will mis-use the system and that mis-use needs to be guarded against by locking people out.

2. Creating ways that are going to make it more complicated for users is not a good answer. If the coding for a decent answer is going to be complicated then we need to have the eventual answer written into the road-map so that revisions of the Launchpad code eventually lead towards making this easier to implement. Perhaps a temporary work-around might be possible at some stage but writing something in to make the situation worse for users is not a good plan.

3. I think even some laws of some countries legislate to give people more control of their data, or data about themselves than Launchpad is currently offering. Usually linux is trail-blazing in developing the rights of the user but in this case it seems to be lagging behind things like "The Data Protection Act" (although i could be wrong)

Very very weird to see this in linux-land!

Just my thoughts. When i get the chance i might try to re-word these points to make them easier for them to understand & to check the validity!

Thanks again!
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
