It will be interesting to see if the edit takes before the post is

My experience at JLA is edits only appear on USENET if the edit is done
before
it is sent out from them.  I suggested to the admin to disallow edits
for that
reason to keep consistency but I see that they still allow it.

 Just keep in mind if you edit after JLA sent the post to USENET, the
only
place the edit will appear is at JLA. Your original version "before"
editing will not change anywhere else that you view USENET
