I just posted a tip/trick and did a couple of revisions (how do you miss those silly typos???) and found that I got 10 and 2 points each time. Does that mean I could revise it several hundred times and massively increase those valuable rep points with little effort?

I also experienced the same things during posting/editing an article.

It will save you having to post jokes in the SB to collect those 'valuable' points with little effort.

The points have value? really? Where can I cash them in? I thought they were meaningless tokens.

I think you need to read your OP again.

and I think you ignored the smiley.

I realise what you meant with or without the smiley. Obviously I can't say the same about you.

I have no idea what you mean: explain.

Sorry I really can't be bothered, I've tried explaining something to you before, if you don't get it never mind it's even less important than points.

No need to get sniffy. You don't make yourself clear at all - don't blame me because you can't make yourself understood.

1.)Wasn't getting sniffy - Really can't be bothered and really isn't important
2.) Didn't blame you.
All I know is I get into a constant explain/comment/explain/comment cycle when I converse with you on here which I wanted to avoid(and yes I know I've failed cos here I am explaining why you're wrong on the first 2 points). I think last time you claimed to know why I posted something and what I was thinking when I did it so I reckon your my missus in disguise anyways as she claims to know why I do stuff to.

Saying that you really can't be bothered and it really isn't important is being sniffy.
You appeared to be shifting the blame for your inability to make yourself understood to me. I asked you to explain what you meant as it didn't make much sense to me. If you wish to take the piss, feel free, I welcome it but at least make yourself understood; so far your ability to elucidate appears to be sadly lacking. On the other hand, perhaps it's me having a thicko moment. Either way, it is simply impolite not to clarify when asked to do so.

No as I've said I've been down that road with you before and it's one I'm not willing to go down again.
I can't be bothered and it isn't important, sorry.

I accept your apology even though it is worthless. Being rude and dismissive smacks of ignorance: plainly the cap fits.

I apologised in the 1st post when I said I wasn't going to bother to explain(so I'm not being rude and we could have skipped all this nonsense in between). I knew if I did explain it wouldn't have been left like that, you would have argued that I meant something else, like I say been down that road and I've seen you take others down there too. Even now I'm drawn into a lengthy conversation which isn't worth having. You didn't understand, it REALLY wasn't important and is REALLY not worth explaining and I Really don't care if it's mine or your fault, I just didn't want to be still going over it 2 days later but here I am( even this you are failing to understand despite repeating it 2 or 3 times now).

You're just no fun at all. Don't give in now: this just getting interesting.

I just found this question[^] (albeit on the second page of Q&A) that had a mention it was modified 9 hours earlier by a certain Boris Fisher[^]. The accout is no longer actice nor is there any trace of a modification on said question (no solution nor updates or edits).
Can the update time of a Q&A entry be reset to its previous state when the reason for that update to its last modification time has ceased to exist?
It appears to me that this could be just to much effort for such a rare occurrence, but I thought I should bring it to your attention.
Cheers!
