There's no problem, we're not the NY Times. But anyway, I propose these
guidelines for editing/deleting posts:

- if you've just published the post and need to edit or delete it, just
do it: the probability of anyone having alread read the post is so low
there's no need to worry about that.

- if after an hour or more you need to edit the post, edit it and add a
notice at the end of the post (with the editing date in case it's
different from publishing date).

- if after an hour or more you need to delete a post, delete its content
and place a deletion notice instead. ("The post was deleted because it
contained erroneous facts etc. etc.")

Any comments?
