Too many edits.

To my fans and readers around the world, I need your help.

If you look over to the right side of your screen, the right side of this blog page, you'll see my "Profile" and my "About Me" write-up. Near the bottom you'll see the paragraph:
  • "I also suffer from a slight case of O.C.D.- I've probably edited this About Me section 31 times in the last 74.2 minutes."
As humorous as that may be, and I intended it to be so, it is ultimately very true. Point and case, I've edited the blog directly below this one, Ooooh, is life exciting, or what!?, about 4 times since I initially pushed the 'Publish Post' button of this blog-writing interface.

I am disturbed by this, and on other levels I'm not; and I'm not
just referring to the aforementioned post. For the post, The fall of Zach (which wasn't too far, but still hurt), and the rise of Ben (which is currently unchecked), there's actually a gap of one day between the time I first published it and the time when I was finally happy with it and left it as you see it now- and the changes went far beyond cosmetic, I actually had the post in an "unfinished" state with no real closure to my thoughts.

So, my readers, what do you think? Should I just let my mistakes and oversights go "as is", and post amendments, or maybe comment on a post when I realize there are catastrophic mistakes (like using "theres" instead of "theirs", thank you Capt. Chapman)?

I think that I do need to let up a little :)

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Zach

P.S. I just now, finally, decided that my spell checker for these posts should learn the word "blog" :)

That's kinda like the spell checker of the forums pages at apple.com notifying me that it didn't know what the word "iPod" was (which this spell checked doesn't recognize either). Hah!

P.S. Ben won the match with Jason B., so he's in the Finals. WOOOOOO!!!! BENNNNN!!!!!!
