I know I do, but I also make liberal use of the "edit" feature. What I like best about this place is that it's human. As such, it has pimples and sometimes farts. I mean, if you look at the badges people have given me, you'll see that some are for dumb things that I've said and mistakes that I've made. Anyway, there are a whole lot of examples of comments that were kind of flip or innocuous or banal that have sparked conversations and often, pretty good ones.

To me, a willingness to engage in something is a willingness to learn and to try to understand, so I think that people who comment in that spirit really have nothing to worry about.
