    After checking the new post of the day, to find the first post edited, I Google searched it, and found the unedited version.

    1) Am I a trailblazer who deserves truckloads of thanks?*
    2) Does this work for deleted posts too?

    Seeing as how most edits are made to add information or correct spelling I wouldn't think it matters that much

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    It's also useful to catch out prople who edit to hide a statement that they couldn't back up!

    I see OP. You're going to troll through every edited post until you find one that... what? Agrees with your opinion? I get the impression you spend most of your time in the Politics or Conspiracy Theories forum.

    Nothing to do with that, more to do with trying to find out what people did to get banned etc, that's always good to read.
