Suggestion - Editing Comment

The file says it all (The ability to not really edit comments, but to add an addendum. This avoids people trolling and then editing comments to appear innocent, but if you need to clarify something, you can add it to the original comment (including forum posts), rather than having to post it in a new comment to get lost among many other replies.)

Right now, the pencil icon only shows up on areas you own or are allowed to edit (your page, group backrooms you have privs for, etc). For this, it'd be displayed on all your comments and replies.

I left this as a comment on #hq's blog about forum and chats, but it should happen site wide

If you'd like to add something or make a suggestion for an alteration, please let me know
Good point from =TimberClipse; "What if it could be edited right up until someone else comments on your post?" [link]
I think that would work as well a problem with that, I think, would be that often you might not realise that you weren't clear enough until someone replied to it.
Question from =SanguineEpitaph; "Would editing the comment make it re-show up in someone's inbox?" [link]
I'd say, no. If the person has the comment or reply in their message center still, then that would be updated too (so they see the updated version in their message center rather than the old one). But it wouldn't need to send the comment again.
Good ideas from =oblivion00 [link]
I think a nested box (basically, just slap a border on a paragraph) would be the most noticeable, placed above the user's signature. The alternate option is stickying comments--for instance, if I make a thumbshare thread and want to close it, I'll leave a comment at the end--if I could press a button to have this appear directly below the original post, that would work somewhat like an addendum."
Good point by `SaTaNiA; if you edit it several times it can get very messy. [link] So I'd suggest to limit it to one edit, or two at most
