If you have ever been on any of the more up-to-date forums, you would know this isn't an issue(e.g., the quote auto-capture function that edit can't erase). Also, more often than not the edit button is used to correct mistakes. Your concern is a non-issue and only helps to drag this once-fine forum down into the realm of has-beens.
JMHO
It’s still fine. FR is not going down the tubes for lack of an edit feature. That’s just silly.
But if you don’t like it, go join one of the ones you think is better.
Nobody is forcing you to stay here.
