I heartily second Heren's addition: links can be updated, moved, deleted, whatever; but if you post the name of the thread, things are going to be somewhat easier in future occasions.

As for the unnecessary editing of posts, I can only remind you all that the ability to edit your posts is a privilege, not a right. I know boards which have the feature disabled because there have been cases of members posting something which went too far, only to have them remove it later and play innocent. Admittedly, those boards were less well moderated and the users far less well behaved than ours, but I do think any step towards that extreme is a bad one.
I'm not saying all edits need a reason, especially if the changes aren't substantial. However, I'd also say that anything you have to change or improve can and should be posted in a second post. This would definitely go for cases where you change your mind, have a new idea, or want to phrase something better.
