@RobinHood I agree that it is very difficult to actually find out whether the editor is the same person, but in this particular case, I think it was acceptable because it is a small amount of info, and I know it's a response to my comment. In cases where a lot of text is added/removed and the meaning is changed, it is more likely it is a random user. Also, the OP user id was 370412 and the editor 370434 - they're very close which probably means the OP figured out he lost his cookie and reregistered.

A silverlining would be it provides incentive to register. To me, even what this example user did (edited from another account) is not acceptable, because the new information should be treated as if it comes from a different person. Am I coming off snarky? | |
