This has happened on many occasions.
Somewhere out there one of you screws up a post and can't edit it, so you post a followup with corrected information, or corrected spelling, or some other change.
Then later on you come back and find your post magically fixed.
No, you are not going crazy. Well, most of you aren't.
It's just your friendly neighborhood moderator making you look less like a jackass. Why, I just edited this post twice to fix up brain-muddled screwups.
Just another useful service we provide. Aside from RUTHLESSLY CRUSHING SPAM! BWAHAHA!
It's 5:22 AM and I just thought you should know that. In case you were wondering.
Feel free to post comments.

This is nothing new. I've seen plenty of posts with a little colored line at the bottom saying "Fixed (this or that): (name)" It happens all the time.

You bet right.
Kuja, sometimes the mods don't mark their fixes
That'd probably be me. Figured you'd want your HORRIBLE MISTAKES to be kept secret.

Not all of us. I leave at fixing broken quote tags and other such formatting errors. No spell check for you!

It's going to require at least a five zeros after it. And to my back account not Mike's.

You have a back account? Does that involve the Swiss?

Ergh, bank account. Cold medicine and clear headedness don't mix so well. And no, it involves Americans and some Canadians.

Sometimes the messages say things like:
You fucking idiot, I had to correct your spelling on every other fucking word! -GAT

Of course not. Pay no attention to that Horseman with the virtual graffitti.
